Recently, as our family has encountered hardship, our people have circled the wagons around us in so many ways.  What’s moved my heart the most is how they are offering encouragement, scripture, prayers and sweet words to our kids while they work through fears and the “what ifs” that pop up when the sun goes down.  That, my friend, is help from the sanctuary that is strengthening our family; our people loving us and carrying our burdens with us.  This is the Body of Christ – the gift of community. 

Do you have loved ones who will bear your burdens with you when its time to circle the wagons?  Who are those people?  My prayer for you is that you can experience this help when you need His strength.
