At one point I was talking to one of my family group members about how it's kind of sad when on fg day the leaders gets texts or emails saying that people can't make it to family group. Though it might just be one or two people, the thought slowly creeps in "will anyone come today? do they like family group? why aren't the coming?". Though often there are legitimate reasons, as a broken person, my mind wanders to how I am failing them.
In response to this conversation, this particular family group member now texts/responds to the weekly family group e-mail with an excited "I'll be there!" or "I'm coming!". Maybe this person isn't really this excited for family, but in my mind I see a smiling excited face. It makes me smile. But most of all it makes me a my heart swell and my eye tear up because I am SO blessed by K'nex.
Galations 5: 13-14
13You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature[a]; rather, serve one another in love. 14The entire law is summed up in a single command: "Love your neighbor as yourself."
awww, what a good response to get! :D
