Mutuality

Happy Tuesday (or day before Thanksgiving eve)! This past Saturday, I had the privilege to serve alongside some amazing folks to serve turkey meals to 70+ underserved people in Orange County, CA. There were young people, old people, singles and families. Some had been living on the streets for years, while others had recently lost everything and were just trying to get their heads back above water.

This week, many people will be thinking about things they’re thankful for and we must always keep gratitude close to our hearts because that is what gives depth to our human experience. But let’s also remember that our lives are intertwined into the greater fabric of our communities. As MLKJ powerful said, we are all “caught in an inescapable network of mutuality.” We must position our hearts to make serving others more than a project; it must become our disposition.
