We are family...

"Lifting up his eyes to heaven, Jesus prayed saying, 'I pray not only for these, but also for those who will believe in me through their word...'"

John 17:20

Faced with a serious illness or our own mortality, our first thoughts go to our family, don't they? What will happen to my family when I am gone? And Jesus is no exception here. The night before his death, Jesus prays for his disciples and also all the people his disciples will influence--us! We are the family Jesus is concerned about as he knows his end is near. Isn't that an amazing thought to ponder today? We are Jesus' concern even as he faces his own demise. Today, let's think about the fact that we are Jesus' family. And not just us, but the many generations of people before us and the many generations to follow us. We are a family. Love, heidi
