Why God Calls It The Body

Just a quick thought on why God calls the church the body: often when one part of our physical body is compromised, another part of the body will pick up slack to help the compromised part keep going. In other words, the body looks after its own parts. When one part is down, the other part does its share to keep things going.

That is what Tarsha and I have experienced this past week. There is no way I can adequately express my gratitude toward each part of the Body who has helped us through this difficult time. The prayers, phone calls, notes of encouragement, food, flowers, offers to babysit, clean the house, wash my car (okay, I made that one up) has overwhelmed us. You guys are awesome. We have even received notes from families who are not yet an "official" part of our body, but who already feel a part. This love that has been displayed is why Friendship Church is the awesome church it is. Thanks to all of you.
