Quote: “What does a community, church, neighborhood, or family bound together in love looks like? Lot of of smiles exchanged, for sure. Kind words, helpfulness…honest conversations about feelings unheard, future dreams, dashed hopes, conflicts. Hard talks require us to be clothes in God’s love, practicing patience, humbleness, kindness and compassion. Though difficult, this is possible because we are “God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved”(v12) and because Christ’s peace—not our own—rules in our hearts.(Prayer) God stretch out my hands in love toward others in my community and beyond. In Jesus’ name. Amen.”
