Community requires practice and effort. It requires people to make meals, open doors, communicate. It requires managing schedules, hosting get-togethers, managing facilities, seeing needs and handling them. Community requires seeing the helpers and thanking them. It requires hugs and conversations. It requires a heart to serve before being served. It requires each of us to guard and garden our hearts for the sake of the friend beside us. Why looky here! Community requires all the things home requires, which means we, the Christian homemakers, have a wonderful witnessing opportunity by simply doing what we do. Ladies, this is what we’re trained, or training, for! We are constantly engaged in educating ourselves, in practicing, in growing our skills and expanding our skills in all these areas.
