STRING US TOGETHER
By Sally I. Kennedy
November 17, 2010
I pray …. that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me
and I am in you. " John 17:20,21
A couple buttons snapped off in the laundry. As I was sewing them
back on I began to think about how the Holy Spirit uses a sewing
stitch to 'string' together the believers, the body of Christ.
In my mind's eye, the picture of a lovely, plush Christmas tree came
into view. It was decorated from top to bottom with garlands of
cranberries and popcorn. I could almost smell the pungent pine aroma
wafting in the air. Then I noticed the cranberries were fresh, strung
together with heavy thread; the popcorn held together by some rough,
tan twine.
Recently I attended a women's conference. There were women of all ages
there, from teens to, I'd guess, eighties. People were from all walks
of life, lifestyles, churches and denominations.
As we stood together, all around the huge arena, singing and praising
God, we were most definitely being 'strung together' by the love of
God and the presence of the Holy Spirit.
I thought of the old song 'Bind Us Together' with new words, string us
together, Lord……string us together with Love.
Lord, Thank you that in Your mercy and grace it is Your plan to string
together Your children, Your body, Your church. Thank you, Lord! In
Jesus' name, amen.
John 10:16 there shall be one flock and one shepherd. -Jesus
