Meeting the Family
One of the nicest benefits of being a Christian is that you are automatically a part of a great big family. It doesn't matter what church you attend, where you live, your political views, or your economic status, you are in. (Even if you don't always feel like you are.) Somehow we are supernaturally bound together by this one common thing: we love Jesus. When you meet another believer, you just feel at home. That's how I felt today when I met the lovely ladies from Mennonite Girls Can Cook. They were having a book signing in my area today, so I popped in to say hello. (And to purchase their fantastic cookbook!) These terrific ladies are raising money for needy children in the Ukraine with proceeds from their cookbook...busy fulfilling the words of Jesus when he said "I was hungry, and you fed me." I drove home feeling so very thankful that God has included me in his family, and that I can call 'the Mennonite Girls' my sisters in Christ.

"I'm so glad I'm a part....of the family of God...joint heirs with Jesus as we travel along..."
This must have been a fun thing--to meet and greet this group of "sisters"!
What a wonderful realization we have in common. We continually are meeting such dear sisters in Christ and also feel amazed at the bond we feel. It was wonderful of you to come out on a busy day and say hello. Thank you! Having a face to put to blogs and blog comments is the best!
