A Family’s Touch
How do I breakthrough and heal from isolation?
Isolation and "doing life on your own" often leads to increased risks of depression, anxiety and overall decline.
On Sunday our pastor talked about the impact a spiritual family has on wellness and growth in life. "The more" as he called it.
If you know anyone who tends to isolate, feel free to send this poem to them for inspiration and hope.
A Family’s Touch
When I'm alone and turned to self
My body, mind and very health
Get thrown into calamity
I’m all alone, no family.
/
I isolate and usually pause
But could I gain from common cause?
To have a family full of friends
To have their balm to help me mend?
/
I rarely link to others' hearts
To join as one from many parts
I long to care and seek to know
A family strong, and prone to grow
/
I'll maybe give my time away
To help my neighbor night or day
And ask for comfort when I am down
And feel their love beyond my frown
/
Yes, I’ll make a move today
I’ll leave my space and join the fray
Now I’m in God's family
I’ll walk with them in gloom and glee
Now I see the Lord's increase
And witness Satan's quick release
/
This body now complete in Thee
With all its parts alive and free
Held together oh so tight
By His grace, a sacred Light
