Our Fellowship
So many, so different.
Who has come to live here with me? Of what is the We made in this mountain village?
I came in search of greater nearness to you, Lord, that I might better do your will.
My neighbor on one side was in flight from troubles.
My other neighbor is old and wishes to live out their days under your skies.

So many reasons to be here. Now that we are joined -- we have unity of presence, of joy, of devotion.
How could I have expected such fellowship from such disparate creatures?
Let us live as We, Lord.

Consider:
Can I truly love all my fellows?
