Thank Goodness For Family

I am with my family in thought and prayer.

My family extends much more so than the biological family.Many of my closest friends are like family too.

The word family holds different meaning for different people.  I may assume that being with my family means connecting with the people who brought me into this world and shaped me during my formative years.  But I may also consider my family to be with whom I share time, energy, at work and play.

God puts people in my life to help me grow stronger in my faith.  We both give and receive when I do God's will.

While I would like to spend my time with family regularly, my physical presence may not be possible.  Nevertheless, I can call, write or email them and I can be with them in my thoughts at all times.  In truth, I am never far from those I love, the people I know as family. We are all in Spirit together.

I am grateful to have all my immediate family within 30-60 minutes from me.  I have friends as close as 5 minutes.

Whenever we have an opportunity, let us work for the good of all, and especially for those of the family of faith.  Galatians 6:10
