Why Laughing Together is so Important

Developing a sense of community is tough. Meeting new people. Branching out of your comfort zone. Silence. Awkwardness.

There are a few simple things that help people bond:
Eat together
Laugh together.
Pray together.
Serve together.

Communities that do these things are unbelievably strong. They don’t easily break. They forgive one another. They don’t put up a front. They call in the middle of the night if they need to. They will be silent if you need them to. When they say they’ll be ‘praying for you,’ it’s no joke. They are the people you want to surround yourself with.

We are meant to live in community, rather than being alone. Keep developing yours.
