Fellowship

Musick-al Note # 282

          How marvelous to be remembered!  A phone call, a letter or a few moments shared in Christian fellowship makes our outlook on life so much brighter.  We need to be love and cared for as well as to love and care for others.  This basic need of man should have     its greatest fulfillment in the Christian Fellowship.  No need to be lonely and no need to feel sad and neglected, yet because we do not give ourselves freely to one another we are lonely at times, sad and forlorn.  Being unselfish and loving, others will enjoy our presence and care for us and show their concern by such friendly visits to us.  We all need and respond to their visits which show their concern for us.  We all need that extra attention at times and it is indeed inspirational when some friend just happens to call.

          Let us not forget that we can be that friend who calls or writes or takes a few minutes to call on another.  We ought to remember how good we feel when someone calls on us and then think of another on whom we might call to spread this happiness.  To just sit home waiting for others to come to us would be foolish as well as disheartening.  It is more blessed to give than to receive, Jesus said, and truly in this area, joy and happiness come to the giver as well as to the receiver.  Let us love one another with a pure heart fervently.  Let us communicate with one another with sincerity and not with avarice for God will judge our hearts.  Give joy to someone’s heart and life by calling or writing or visiting them today.
