Reach Out and Touch Someone

Welcome to Five Minute Friday - today's writing prompt is Connect

We are an interconnected web of humanity.  Each one's actions affects other people, both positively and negatively.  As we reach out in love, we bless and build up, first one person and then another.

When we behave selfishly and without regard for the needs, thoughts and feelings of another we break the tenuous threads that bind us to others.

Jesus was a connector, a binder of people.  He reached out to the least and the lost, the despised and rejected.  Once He touched a person's life they were never the same.  He healed and accepted and loved.  Can we do any less?



1. Write for 5 minutes flat – no editing, no over thinking, no backtracking.
2. Link back here and invite others to join in.
3. And then absolutely, no ifs, ands or buts about it, you need to visit the person who linked up before you & encourage them in their comments. Seriously. That is, like, the rule. And the fun. And the heart of this community..

    1. That's one of the things I am loving about the blog community. It is another way to connect with people we would probably never have the opportunity to meet.
