We Are All Members of One Body.
I pause for a moment to give thanks for my close relationships—loved ones within my household, companion animals I consider family, and people who live miles away but are held close by love. These loved ones are part of me. I carry them in my heart always, even beyond their deaths. When I further consider relationships, I think of the neighbor who greeted me as a hospital volunteer when I arrived for medical tests. How uplifting and comforting to see a welcoming smile from a friend. How can I build relationships beyond my circle of friends? The answer is simply to give generously of my attention, to listen with my heart, and to care.
So we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually we are members one of another.—Romans 12:5
