Everyone wants to belong/ Find their place/ Be loved

The picture above is the sight that I see every Monday night as I walk to family dinner at my cousins house.

It overwhelms me to see a group of old gentleman, just hanging out. Doing life together. I hear them sternly speak in Italian to one another and watch in awe as I wait for the traffic light to change.


com•mu•ni•ty : a group of people living together in one place, esp. one practicing common ownership.

I love how the dictionary puts it, "practising common ownership".

Could it be that we are to share each other's burdens, joys, loves passions, desires,
heartache, hurt, temptations or struggles?

The bible says: Prov 27:17 "As iron sharpens iron,so one person sharpens another."

Just some thoughts...
