The month of July always gets me thinking about independence. In America, we are very proud of our independence and there is nothing wrong with having pride in our country and the freedom and independence that comes from living in the United States of America.
I wonder, though, if we realize that sometimes we misplace our independence. We have a tendency to pull away from people and decide we can do it all on our own. We have a 2 year old mentality sometimes: "I do it I self!"
I think we have become fractured and don't realize how interdependent we really are. We rely on others for our food, our clothes, and shelter. Even the most self-reliant person is dependent on someone else.
This month, look for ways that you are interdependent with others and seek to build these relationships. Don't forget about God, as His is the most important relationship of all. We were created to be dependent. These relationships are vital to your health and wellbeing.
We are individuals that together make something wonderful as a whole that could never be accomplished by ourselves.
