Psalm 133  “How good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!”

Unity.  What a small word with huge ramifications!  If you have experienced near perfect unity or suffered from the lack of the same, you recognize and have feelings associated with both.  Last February my husband and I were part of a mission team to North Thailand.  We would agree that it was a tremendous blessing to travel and share ministry with twelve Christian brothers and sisters, all committed to unity.  We laughed, cried, sang, taught, played, shared and prayed as one in the Spirit.  It was truly beautiful.

The Bible has much to say about unity.  Paul says in Romans 12:18, “If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men.”  Isn’t that the key?  A favorite quote of mine is “never let anyone or anything rob you of you peace or extinquish your joy.”  I want to do my best, as far as it depends on me to live at peace with everyone. 

Today we leave for North Thailand.  There are nineteen of us.  I am looking forward with anticipation to the joy and blessing of our team in unity.  Please pray for us.
