Most people think that "family" means our earthly loved ones. To the child of God, it means being apart of the family of God which means belonging to Christ through redemption of the work that Christ suffered on the Cross for us in His due season. This "family" is eternal where as our earthly one is not. We love our earthly family, but the Body of Christ is our everlasting one whom we should esteem more highly.
The Lord blesses us with our loved ones here the way He designed in the beginning of time. The sweet blessing of loving those in Christ is unspeakable joy. The precious Body of Christ is a bond that goes beyond earthly bounds. May we keep our thoughts on eternal things and know that our family waits for us in heaven.
