Thanksgiving 21

We live in a day of fragmentation.  No, I am not referring to computers.  We see advertisements for our military that tell us we can be an “Army of one” and the like.  Families no longer sit down and eat dinner together.  The kids have sports, this and that activity and we just don’t have time for such an old-fashioned idea. Wrong!

We make time for whatever we really want to do in life.  If we truly wanted to spend time with our families we would move mountains to spend time with them.  The problem is that we are so self focused and so apathetic (which makes us pathetic!) that we just blow it off as we are too busy.

If you are too busy to spend time at your kitchen table with your family having a meal together you are too busy.  I enjoy spending time with my family.  I even go and visit other members of my family to see how they are doing and what they are up to.

The best part of my family is that most of them are part of my Heavenly family also.  Just the other night I sat with my cousin and we talked about many things; but, every conversation led right back to something about Jesus Christ.  I love it!  I love my family too!  Look at Ephesians 3:14-15, “For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,”

So, how are you doing?
