Stronger Together

Together We Shine

Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up. Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken. – Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

The principle of two being better than one can be applied to any partnership or aspect of life. To be alone isn’t necessarily seen as negative, but when you add another person to your life the situation is usually better. One of the keywords in these verses is “better.” The writer is stating that a better way, a more fruitful way to live life is alongside other people. It’s within the context of relationship that the body of Christ thrives. It’s within the community that the glory of God shines the brightest. Source: Crosswalk

Are You Feeling Disconnected?

It’s essential to recognize that loneliness isn’t solely about being physically alone; it’s also about feeling disconnected from meaningful relationships and lacking a sense of belonging. Even individuals with many friends can experience loneliness if their actual level of connection doesn’t align with their desired level. Remember, you’re not alone in feeling lonely. Approximately 1 in 3 adults aged 45 and older experience loneliness in the United States. If you or someone you know is struggling with loneliness, consider seeking support and connecting with others to improve emotional well-being.
