Acts 4:32- “All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had.”

The fires in California have dominated the news the last ten days or so. Our hearts and prayers go out to those who have lost homes and loved ones.

Just as in the wake of other disasters (tornados, hurricanes, flooding, and so on) a common thread runs through many of the stories.

Neighbor helping neighbor.

It is a beautiful thing to see, isn’t it?

The verse in Acts 4 tells us of a time when pooling of resources was common place. The people shared everything they had with one another.

Let’s not wait for disasters to strike. Let us take up the mantle of caring for our neighbors in times of our own prosperity.

Let us be of “one heart and one mind.”
