Where No One feels like an “Other”

Outsider, unwelcome, left out. Feeling like you don’t belong, an  “other.” That is one thing we do not want to do at our linkup.

We want to throw open the doors and welcome you make you feel like an insider and welcomed.

We are a family here at the #LMMLinkup. We care about you and your goals as a blogger, writer. We care about your faith, your daily life. We want you to feel the love of Christ here.

How do we accomplish this? One thing, I want to assure everyone is that you are always welcome to leave prayer requests in the comments. Suggestions for improvement of our linkup are also welcome and encouraged.

Another great way to build community and encourage each other  is to take time to comment on your neighbors posts. Lately, I have not been able to comment and visit with you because of sickness in my family, but I will try my best this week to catch up. I want everyone to have lots of clicks on their posts and to feel encouraged.

We are here for each other; to lift one another in love and prayer. We are community and I hope we consider each other sisters in Christ and friends. Thanks for your continued support.

A note, I wrote this post for Kate Motaung’s Five Minute Friday community where the prompt was other.

SORTING, LABELING, CATEGORIZING

by Pam Ecrement

I so agree with this post. Labeling can be so useful when it comes to our personal space and organizing our lives, but we need to wary of sorting and labeling others. We can fall into a serious trap. Be sure to read this post this week.

Remember to grab your button if you have been featured:

Now, it is time to link up to the Literacy Musing Mondays hop!

Linkup Rules:

1. Include a link back or the blog hop button linked to this hop on your posts.
2. Link up the urls to your posts not to your blog.
3. Please remember this is a family-friendly linkup. Although we believe in the right for adults to read whatever they want to read, we prefer to read wholesome posts that feature literature that edify and uplift families. We reserve the right to delete any posts that are not family friendly. We love all kinds of literature and genres including family-friendly inspirational romances, fantasy, or science fiction. We do not welcome any posts that feature excessive violence, sexual content, or any cursing. This rule also applies to book review posts that feature books that are not family-friendly. These posts will be deleted without notice to the blogger or explanation. While we believe in the right for all adults to read whatever they want, we feel our linkup is for family-friendly posts only. Thank you for understanding.
4. We also want to be loving community by supporting one another. Please make a point to do this this week! Visit the two posts before yours and at least one other blogger’s post of your choice! I want to see lots of clicks on everyone’s posts. Remember it is also nice to follow them on their social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook.
5. Also note  periodically I will send everybody updates on the linkup using your contact information you provided when you linked up. At the bottom of the notifications you will be able to unsubscribe if you do not wish to receive these notifications.
6. Tweet about the link up too.
