Reasons To Be Connected - Reason 4

Linda, my bride of almost 29 years, loves to put jigsaw puzzles together. When she begins there are pieces everywhere and as you look at all the pieces you have no idea what it all means . . . it doesn't make any sense, just a jumbled mess.

Today's reason -- reason number 4 -- why it is important for us to be connected -- connected to God and to others, is that connections help us understand life!

Connections enlarge our perspective. There is a mystery to life, that can seem like a series of random unrelated events until one is able to see the connections. Like a jigsaw puzzle, the pieces must be joined together in order for us to see the big picture. Information is useless unless we see how it connects to some part of our life.

Think of a time when thing you solved the "jigsaw mystery". How will this information, when connected to the reality of your day today, help you put the pieces together?
