Less Wondering, More Knowing about Them

There’s a lot about social media nobody told us.

For example, telling somebody Happy Birthday online is quick and easy.

Until you find yourself hovering over the Post or Send key.

Wondering if that person’s still alive or not.

And you’re engulfed in a tsunami of feelings and questions.

My hope and prayer is that moments like that will drive us to be more intentional about living into Romans 12:5 —

Though we are many,

we are one body in Christ, 

and we are all joined to each other.

— Social media makes it easier than ever to do what a commercial from 1987 advised —

— Take time today to do that with at least one person you care about today.

And then reach out to someone else tomorrow.

And then another on the next day.

Repeat.

And spend less time wondering about the people you care about.

Because you’ll know about them.
