The most recent teachings on Community have spoken to me and my family deeply. We were ready to give up on our current small group a month or so ago, due to the chaos of doing life with children, the difficulty of commitment, and the perceived gulf of differences between my family and the families at our group. We stuck with it, and your teachings have opened my eyes to the false hopes I was building up about what community would look like, instead of engaging with who was actually here with me. May God bless you for sharing the hard earned experience and wisdom that you have, it’s encouraged me to not give up on meeting together.
