The start of the school year has always seemed like the official New Year. New programs are launching in Sept everywhere ... except Community Blend. We are taking it slow in Sept and launching our programs in Oct. But it's still an exciting month for us with family visits, vacation, and our first annual Community Blend retreat. We understand the importance of teambuilding and we want to keep ours close and encouraged.
Speaking of encouragement, Colossians 4:6 says, "Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone." These are fast paced times, people are busy, add to that a season of politics and you have the perfect storm; harsh talk, aggressive driving, impatience all around. Discussions on differences can be productive when we season our words with grace and salt.
God created us all unique; to work in unity using our varied gifts. Unity is not uniformity. We are different and those differences paint a full picture when there's work to accomplish. Our unique qualities are a gift from God. The challenge is learning to use them in harmony as we work together.
