Family!!!!!

Today as been a pretty rough day. For some reasons kids tend to act worse on Friday. It is only lunch and I am completely ehausted from playing referee to these students. But the thing that is getting me through this day is the fact that I am going to get to see most of my family tonight!!! I love that God uses family anologies in the Bible... For instince he calls himself God the Father and we are his children. For those of you who know me there is no way you do not know my family. I have this incrediable mom/best friend. She is a true women of God like it talks about in Proverbs. A father who is active not only in the church but in each one of our lives. He is always looking out for us even when we don't see it that way. Then I have three brothers who are very different. There is John Mark...the quiet thinker. Jeremy.... the enthusatic wild child. Joshua...gears going 200 miles an hour all the time but is always good for an adventure. This is how it is in the Church. God has given each one of his children a unquie gift that he wants us to use to being more people into the family. Yes I have a wonderful family but that is not to say that we don't have our problems and we will have problems in the Church as well. The cool thing about family is they have your back and are always there when you need a hand or a shoulder to cry on. You don't always agree but what fun would that be. (I mean be honest how many of you use to purposially pick fights with your siblings. Guilty!!) That just gives you more ideas and different ways to look at things. God has blessed us with so much and that Family atmosphere for me is a huge blessing. So stop and take a second to look at what makes each member of your family special and tell them. Let them know that they are a blessing to you....even if you don't always think so.
Verse for today: Matthew 4-6
Have a great weekend!!!
