Be United

Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. — Romans 12:15

While misery may love company, grief tends to make us withdraw and hide. Let's remember those who have lost loved ones, especially this time of year. Let them know how you valued their loved one and miss him or her, too. Please keep these folks in your prayers and in your social plans, as well. In addition, make this a season of true joy — affirm others by rejoicing in their blessings.

We can speak— Without words …

With the eyes of understanding;

With the ears of alertness;

With the smile of delight;

With the tone of kindness;

With the spirit of compassion;

With the hands of mercy;

With the embrace of acceptance;

With the handshake of friendship;

With the look of interest;

With the tears of compassion;

With the nod of affirmation;

With the touch of tenderness;

With the heart of love;

With a face that radiates His light.

[“Lift up the light of Your countenance upon us, O Lord.” Psalm 4:6]
