It's A Family Thing

This past weekend my entire immediate family went to Stone Mountain Park in GA. It was a great time. It is times like these that I appreciate what family means, even when it means you have inherited your father's humor. For me our family is more that just blood related. We have a connection that goes beyond physical blood because I love my sisters-in-law just as much as my brothers. We all care for each other and give each other a hard time. So often I think we miss the boat when it comes to church family. There are times where I can't stand to be around my biological family yet we think that the church family should be immune to that feeling. And the antithesis is true as well. We should rejoice with a church family member just the same as we would with a biological family member.
