For a community to be whole and healthy, it must be based on people's love and concern for each other.”
-- Millard Fuller (Habitat for Humanity)

I read this and I smiled.  I belong to several communities.  They are whole and healthy and I love being a part of them.  My community at work is filled with children and teachers and families who really care. My church is full of love and caring and acceptance and forgiveness and joy.  I always look forward to going to work and going to church.  These are the places where I feel free to be myself and enjoy learning and sharing and life.

Today I thank God for the gift of community.  Community is how I embrace life!
