WORKING TOGETHER
Charles Osgood tells the story of two ladies who live in a convalescent center. Each of these ladies had suffered incapacitating strokes. Margaret’s stroke caused her left side to be restricted while Ruth’s stroke left her right side limited. Both of these ladies were accomplished pianists, but had given up the hope of ever playing again. The director of the center sat them down at a piano and encouraged them to play solo pieces together. They did, and a beautiful friendship and relationship began. What a picture of the church needing to work together. What one Christian cannot do alone, perhaps two or more could do together. The early church was characterized by being in one accord. What one could not provide, another could. If we could learn to trust and help one another, perhaps we could see the power of the early church manifested in the church today! Let’s follow the example of Margaret and Ruth.
