TOGETHERNESS
When one experiences togetherness with someone he loves, it is a deeply personal thing.
At play, shopping, or reading in the same room, you are together.

cancer and is the only institution
dedicated solely to the treatment
and study of catastrophic childhood
diseases.
That's togetherness!
God put work and joy of togetherness in the same thought when He said, "We are laborers together
with God." Cooperate with God, join hands with Him in all the ventures of your life—lemonade stand
or gigantic industry—and the cobwebs of loneliness and the burdens of responsibility are both taken
care of by your Partner. Let the business sign of your life read: "Me and God-co-owners." You can't
beat that partnership!
