Family Time

Everyone needs time with their family.  It is just a part of life, an important part of life.  Enjoying the laughter, jokes, hugs, grand kids, daughter, son-in-law(he is really more of a son).  The strength that is derived from the time is amazing.  Peaceful.  Awesome.  Especially if there is over 500 water balloons.
 
While this is only two or three times a year, family time is very important.  It brings us back to our roots and our love. 
 
The same is true about the family of Christ.  When the family is together, there is peace, laughter, building, love.  It is a time of refreshment and at times a tears. People willing to open their lives to grow.
 
Do not short change the time together as followers of Christ.  It is important.  It is needed.  It is family time, the best time.  For when the family is together, Jesus is present.  It is the greatest of times.
