IT IS A FAMILY AFFAIR

 

IT IS A FAMILY AFFAIR

I come from the

MOST BEAUTIFUL of families

With sit down dinners=and

WHERE our religion and LOVE

Were open to all=

We always had

An OPEN DOOR policy

In our home

IT IS A FAMILY AFFAIR!=

God-Jesus-and the HOLY SPIRIT

Are three in one=

A virtual family=
THE FAMILY OF GOD!

“Jesus rejoiced=

In the Holy Spirit=and said=

'I give you praise-Father=

Lord of heaven and earth

For although you

Have hidden these things

From the

Wise and the learned

You have REVEALED them

To the childlike=

Yes=FATHER

Such has been-

Your gracious will'” Luke 10:21

A good family=A HEALTHY FAMILY

Is one of the

BEST ROLE MODELS

To teach us

ABOUT the love of God

That is WHERE

My love of God and Jesus

Come from=

The ROOT of my BEAUTIFUL FAMILY=

My beautiful extended family

And the BEAUTIFUL FAMILIES

Of my friends

The above is a relatively

OBSCURE MOMENT

In Luke's Gospel

And it gives us a GLIMPSE

Into the “FAMILY LIFE”

Of the Trinity

IT IS A FAMILY AFFAIR=

We are ALL a part

Of GOD'S FAMILY=

That is where

All TRUE LIFE originates

“God sets the lonely

IN FAMILIES

He leads out

The prisoners

With singing

But the rebellious

Live in a sun-scorched land” Psalm 68:6

“He must manage

HIS OWN FAMILY WELL

And see that his children

Obey him=

And he must do so=

In a manner

Worthy of full respect” 1 Timothy 3:4

God and JESUS and love=

Are A FAMILY AFFAIR=

Maybe that is WHY

We have such a BREAK DOWN of families

In today's world

LOVE by definition is fruitful=

BURSTING FORTH in newness of life-

Multiplying and reflecting

Throughout creation

THIS ADVENT=

If you haven't already

Done so

REDEDICATE yourself to God and FAMILY=

And fill yourself

With a sense of WONDER

For GOD'S FAMILY=

As well as you can

ADVENT=

It is A FAMILY AFFAIR

In Jesus' name=and in the name of our HOLY FATHER=God=and his FAMILY
