Build a connection with someone by making eye contact and smiling.

Community is experiencing regular, ordinary interactions with people. Sharing our struggles and successes with others becomes a learning opportunity, allowing us to encourage and, at times, be encouraged by others. Loving others is not about fixing their problems, but about listening, caring, praying, and pointing each other back to the Lord as our strength. In both good and difficult times, we can be compassionate and find encouragement. Life with others is an opportunity for spiritual growth, one step at a time.
