One of my God-children came by, having graduated from college! Now shooting to become a pastor, and yes, I am very proud of him! He also just got engaged last week - so I got to meet her for the first time! Very fun evening.
He has a real burden concerning the concept of family. I am not surprised, he lost his mother when he was young and his father's personality was a bit bombastic. Unfortunately, I was stressed beyond my ability at the same time, so I was a bit abrasive as well. But, we did have fun when we got together sigh ......
But, he is part of my family, as are all of my God-children. So, always welcome in my home or in his need. As are the other 13 God-children :)
So, in his burden, we talked about God's plan and in particular the idea of family ...... Basically, there are three points:
God's plan has been and will always be the family - Genesis 2:18
God's plan is to transform the family through and alongside the church - Deuteronomy 6:4-9
God's plan is to raise up the church as a family.
Of course we talked around the idea of us all being brothers and sisters.
God wanting our hearts more than our minds!
In all a joyous evening - I am very proud of the young man he has grown into ..... How I wish his mother was here to see this ...
