I challenge you

to build your relationships. You could begin with just one or work on a few at once.

In church we talked about service and caring for one another. If we truly care about others, that's when we can serve them best. If we care for others, we need to build our relationships with them (otherwise, we won't know how to serve them).

You could pick any current relationship you have, no matter how established or not (e.g. a spouse, a neighbor, an inlaw, a parent, a roommate, a child, a visiting teachee, an old friend, a new friend), and do something to build that relationship. Calling more often or making some visits is a good way to get started. When we know what's going on in each other's lives, we can more easily express our daily struggles and joys and better serve each other.

It's something productive and unselfish you can do with your time. God wants us all to be as one. Be connected. If His children do not stand together, we will fall on our own. I feel this is very important, and I am going to start working on this. I challenge you to do the same! Have a great Sunday!
