You Can't Get Through This Alone

Before Austin was out of the ER and moved to ICU, there were a cloud of friends and family at our side.  The thing is, they have been by our side since the beginning.

It's so easy to live alone. No one to bother me and no one for me to bother.  Living alongside with others is messy.  I'm in their business and they're in my business.  We sometimes rub each other the wrong way.  We sometime step on each others toes.  We forgive each other. We love each other.  It requires patience.  It requires a commitment.  This is community.

Yes, there were countless people in waiting rooms and lobbies at the hospital.  We love them all. There were so many at the celebration service.  There are so many we run into every day.  They are just the people from church, from school, from our home towns, from work, etc.  Our community.

You just can't through this without faith.  You can't get through this without friends.

"let us not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching." - Hebrews 10:25
