Does the word “family” evoke a warm sentiment and a comfortable feeling? Or do you think “dysfunctional” when you hear the word? If you’re still not sure, consider how family holiday gatherings make you feel. A warm, caring, united family can be one of God’s richest blessings. A circle of close, understanding, and supportive friends can help you cope. How would you imagine Jesus would like the family of his followers to live together? Jesus prayed for unity. Jesus wanted us to care for each other. It’s one of the last things he talked about.
