I just love it when the body is functioning as it should be!
We are called to be the body of Christ to each other! No question... but it doesn't always work that way. But when it does, it is a beautiful picture.
A sister is in the hospital and has lots of pets to be cared for.... a small group member and some other folks from the congregation jump into action and spend hours each day taking care of the sister's animals so she can heal.
A brother and sister have major surgery and are staying at a distance from home.... several from the congregation volunteer to take care of mowing the grass while they are gone!
Another sister has a beautiful lawn, but is unable to mow it at all and a team of folks from the congregation take care of her lawn week in and week out!
Another sister needs help doing the grocery shopping each week and someone takes care of that.
A sister and brother need some financial assistance and another brother and sister share some of their blessings.
One brother needs some encouragement and another brother steps in to provide it!
And the list goes on and on....
That is what the body does!
