| FELLOWSHIP ARTWORK BY TRACY MAY FOUTS |
The individual
ringing the dinner bell shows hope of fellowship
only if the individual chooses
to call people to dinner.
The dinner bell requires action: if nothing is done, it hangs there silently,
alone. If someone decides to ring the
bell, others come running to join in the feast!
Inviting people into our lives requires us to do something.
Have you ever heard someone say, “No one ever calls me? I am so alone?” Truth is that having others in our lives
requires us to leap in! Sitting around and
waiting for others to come our way may
very well result in loneliness. Rarely
when someone rings the dinner bell and sounds the alarm do they not get an
answer!
I can remember going to summer camp and waiting for the
dinner bell to ring! There was much
anticipation and often we would gather around the dining hall before the bell
rang! Yes…we were hungry. But the hunger was for fellowship, not just
food! It would have been pretty lonely
and boring to go into the dining hall alone, and sit there eating by myself. Take the plunge….see what you
can do... invite others into your life and create fellowship and companionship!
