JOINING HANDS RATHER THAN MAKING FISTS

She was such a sweet little girl, but she was lost, somewhere out in those lonely fields and forest she was lost. All day long they searched and felt such an emptiness when they could not find her.
The second day came, and it was so very cold so hope was receding, and by the end of that harrowing day, they still had not found her.

On the third day, someone suggested they all hold hands and walk as one body; a loving, caring, united body, and on that day they found her. She was dead, as by now you may well have imagined, for the temperature had dropped below zero. And when they found her, her mother could only repeat over and over again, “Why didn’t we join hands sooner.”

If in this life when all of us sometimes feel lost we would hold hands more often rather than push each other away, or try to go it alone, or just not want to be bothered…how much more of paradise and less of pain we would find?

“May the God of steadfastness and encouragement grant you to live in harmony with one another, in accordance with Jesus Christ…” Romans 15:5-3
