The Power of Fellowship
All of us is stronger than any one of us.
It’s the strangest thing. The older I get the more organized I become. For instance, shortly after I turned forty, I started carrying a pocket notebook–filled with checklists and thoughts for each day.
My latest set of jotters (shout out to my friends in the UK) features inspirational phrases on every cover. The one for December reads, “You’ve got this.” I kept looking at this little pick-me-up and thinking, “That doesn’t sound quite right.” So, I edited.
Two are better than one, because they have a good reward of their labor. For if they fall, one will lift up his companion. But woe to him who is alone when he falls, for he has no one to help him up. Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 (NKJV)
Like it or not, Christianity is not a go-it-alone religion. We NEED fellowship with God AND each other to thrive. Otherwise, it’s easier for the enemy of our souls (and his many buddies) to attack us one by one.
Kind reader, if you’re out of synch with others in the Body of Christ, please prayerfully seek reconciliation today.
Blest be the tie that binds our hearts in Christian love. The fellowship of kindred minds is like to that above
– Prayers and love.

My wee jotters say the same thing David!
I am so grateful to Father God for my brethren across the world and for those in my church family. Together we make a great cord of many strands.
