It's a "we" thing...

For years I have been writing, preaching, studying, investigating, and remaining in a constant state of frustration over what it means that we are to love one another and that we were created to be interdependent. What does this practically look like and what does it mean for us as a people and as individuals saturated by western isolation? Yesterday at our church gathering as I looked across the room it was obvious what that means. Every person in that room contributed directly or indirectly to the adoption of Zuri. Some made monetary sacrifices, they gave of their prayers while we were away, and almost everyone of them greeted us at the airport! It is my heart for those who have walked with us in this journey to feel the satisfaction that they all had a part and that they are a part of the "we" that brought Zuri home. She has come home to us and that "us" is larger than our family of six. I am full of thanksgiving today for the "we" and not being stuck with just the "me."
