Loving our Families | Rev. Brooke Hartman

Let’s face it, sometimes it can be easier to love those who are not in our family. After all, we don’t have to see them every day and if someone gets on our nerves we can simply walk-away from them. Not so with our families. However, our families are important because this is how we learn to interact with others, are provided with a safe place to be nurtured and grow, and where we are loved and appreciated for who we are. Jesus understood the importance of family and how growing up in a healthy family is important for us to be nurtured in our faith. A healthy family is one where each member is welcoming and hospitable to each other.
