Today I was watching the documentary "Human Experience". It is an amazing story of how this group of young men take a trip around the world to live the human experience. They spend some time with the homeless in New York City, they work with orphan children in Peru, they go to Africa and spend time with people living with HIV/AIDS and they visit a leaper colony.
The love, joy, pain, tears that are shared are amazing. This is what life is, This is what true religion is....connecting with people, our neighbors. I read a quote the other day that with technology we communicate and are connected via internet with more people than any other generation and yet in real life we are less connected than any generation. We may follow each other on Twitter, Facebook, or talk across the world on Skype, but do we connect heart to heart, spirit to spirit. Do you share each other's pain, joy. Do we dance and celebrate each other's life. Do we share a meal, listen or offer real presence to each other. This is our real purpose, this is the real way to connect with God and live an abundant life.
We don't have to travel across the globe, because we can start with our neighbors.....
I RECOMMEND THIS DOCUMENTARY.....
Peace to you in Christ!
