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
