Practice of Joy: Connection

“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”  -Matthew 6:21

There are so many ways to connect with others!  Some take more time or emotional energy than others, but the possibility to make connections in life remains available to us all.  What ways can you experience true fun in your community?

  • Join a club around an interest you love!  Me – the nerdy librarian/writer – I joined a book club this year.  What’s your happy-place-club?  If the club doesn’t exist, no problem, start one.  If you know just one friend with a similar interest, and they know someone  . . . before you know it you have your club.
  • Make dates –  with your partner and with your friends! And put them on your calendar.  Intentional time spent in community with loved ones is the perfect opportunity for true fun to break out.
  • Be engaged in your spiritual community.  Showing up at church and participating is a great way to cultivate relationships with others.  If you’re not there, you certainly won’t be there when the fun happens!

Some Comfort and Joy was developed as a devotional resource that follows the rhythms and seasons of the liturgical year from an Anabaptist-Mennonite perspective.

We hope this brings you some comfort and joy! Do you know someone who would be inspired by today’s post?  Please share Some Comfort and Joy with them!  Be sure to subscribe and never miss a post.

Stay-at-home-Jill-of-all-trades I am hoping to create connections with people and the world around me, while being creatively engaged in what is happening right in front of my nose!
