The life of faith is recognizing that we are each a seed planted, and helping one another stay close to the sustaining water that will help us grow and become the flourishing plant we were always meant to be. Community is believing that we all have something important to give, and that our Source has placed in each of us something valuable. Caring for each other begins with believing that the seed can grow into a tree, and believing that there is enough water available for us and for our neighbor, so we can all thrive.
It’s simple, and complicated. It’s magic and ordinary. It’s the Way of Jesus. Which is never as tidy as we’d often like it to be, and is always sparkling, always alive.
