I blog for the community

To keep in touch with people, and learn about their dogs and their kiddos and their aspirations and their frets and their passions and their own everyday putterings. And I feel like I’ve found that community. Twice, now – once before the days of Twitter, which I blame, perhaps unreasonably, for the sharp decline in blogging in the later half of the last decade, and again in the past few years, with a handful of stalwart bloggers who’ve bridged the distance between the two. I love that some of those friendships have bloomed beyond the confines of our separate blogs.

find a group or a church. Somewhere you can find likeminded people that are the same age as you and struggling with the same problems. Meeting people isn’t always easy and the main excuse I hear is “I don’t want to go alone” but I can promise you that the second you take the step of showing up alone, you’ll find your people and never be alone again.

This is the kind of world I want to live in – where we care for one another as we would want to be cared for

Next time we see a person struggling, step over that barricade of awkwardness to get to a place where help is extended. […] Now let’s imagine our place in it. There is always room for generosity; for that posture of hospitality which welcomes those around us. We welcome them to our heart, and we create a space in our lives for others. The kind of world I want to pass on to my children and grandchildren is one where people look hard into the eyes of the other and see the very face of God.
