Be the Bridge - Be your brothers keeper

We all do go through difficulties at every point in our lives. No living being is problem-free. What differentiates the victims from the victors is how you choose to handle your challenges. It's been great to see members rally around each other in times of difficulty. Somehow, we've all found strength and courage through encouraging each other. Somehow, we've found the right words just in time to lift someone up and also lift ourselves up in the process.

Prayers are answered through people. I want to encourage everyone to continue to be sensitive and responsive to the needs of people around them, not just within the community. You are placed where ever you are for a reason. Someone within your reach or influence may have prayed a prayer that only you can be the answer to. Unless you recognize it and do something about it, that prayer will never be answered. It may even cost a life! Imagine if someone that's supposed to be the answer to your prayer fails to recognize it and respond!

So this weekend, take a few minutes and make a conscious effort to see a need around you that you can meet. From our experience here at WA, we can see that a kind, thoughtful word goes a very long way. It's not always about money, it can be hugs, kind words, a smile, a prayer, validation, recognition, volunteering your time. No act of kindness is too small or insignificant. Someone is counting on you to fill that need. Just do something rather than nothing. Let's be our Brothers Keeper.

Have a blessed weekend everyone!!

Love,
