As you can probably tell, I always have alot of things on my mind. You're probably wondering how between thinking about homework, Dr Pepper, Glee, random song lyrics and trying not too eat too much chocolate, how could I possibly have any room left in my brain right?! Well, somehow I do!
The topic on my brain at this moment is family. Family family and church family. I found a verse today that says, "Friends love through all kinds of weather, and families stick together in all kinds of trouble." Proverbs 17:17. I loooove this verse because I've found it true in my life. Whenever a tragedy happens, everyone acts like your friend. They all want to help, which is completely understandable, but it honestly gets kind of annoying. I've been able to find friends that love me at my lowest points and my highest points. I honestly consider them my family. And my actual family have been together through all kinds of stuff. Of course we fight and argue, but we can always count on each other to be there for one another.
Our church family should be the same way. Everytime I think of a church family I think of the chuch I visited in Germany. Mosaik church. I was looking at the brochure I got from them for really the first time today. On the front page it says, "Kirche wie eine Familie" and for those who aren't as fluent in German as I am (wink wink) it says, "Church as a family". And that's exactly what they were. A family.
I want to be that to others. I want to be the friend they can always count on and that they consider family. I want to contribute to my church family and not expect anything back. I'm going to try my hardest to change my perspective and be that for others.
Proverbs 25:13
Reliable friends who do what they say are like cool drinks in sweltering heat--refreshing!
