Community

Belonging.

Its just human nature to want to belong.

Children, teenagers, adults, senior citizens. We all feel the pull  to belong to someone, something, somewhere.

While I have many reasons to love Morrison, a big chunk of it is due to its sense of community.

Its big around here!

This is most evident each August when the new staffs' container rolls into the parking lot. Such as today.

What? Today? 

But its the last Saturday before school starts......

But its really, really hot out there...

Hundreds of reasons to not help.

Administrators, teachers, spouses, students- working together to unload, sort, and reload items bound for the other two campuses. A hard job made easier by many hands. A community working together.

I remember two years ago when a similar container arrived full of familiar furniture and boxes carefully packed and labeled. I just didn't know how in the world we were going to move all our stuff two blocks away and up seven floors. I shouldn't have been anxious. God knew we weren't alone. 

He had provided a community for which we could belong.
