What an example they are of unconditional and totally committed love for one another. We are expecting to see several family members this afternoon, and enjoy the company of this close knit loving group.
Are they (we) perfect? no, are we always in agreement? no- but we are a family who loves and supports each other.
I wonder about Jesus and His "family of disciples" when he walked among them. We know there were some quarrels, and discontent, even betrayal. HE chose them and they were not perfect. He knew they had faults and chose them anyway. He taught them by example. How can we learn from Jesus and His family? Unconditional and committed love is a choice. It is one we can make every hour of every day. It may look a little different to each of us, but the result is the same. We belong. One of the greatest needs that we share as humans, and as God's creations.
It is a beautiful day in Houston and we will make memories today that will warm our hearts for years to come. I am blessed by this family of mine.
My last two days have been wonderful in the eating department. I have been able to go slow, to nibble my way through meals and not rush. It has made a great improvement.
I hope you enjoy the blessings of this autumn Saturday and the extra hour we get to have tonight.
I Peter 2:15-17 (NIV)" 15 For it is God’s will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish people. 16 Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as God’s slaves. 17 Show proper respect to everyone, love the family of believers, fear God, honor the emperor."
