I love my family. I love my friends. Sometimes though, I find myself loving my friends more than my family. So when I snap at my siblings, and joke and converse with my friends, I realize that something is seriously wrong. So I will start now, to treat my siblings at a better and deeper level than I do my friends, as I should have been doing long ago. I encourage anyone who reads this, to prioritize your family relationships over your friendships.
God has given us the family we have for a reason, and we must never take that for granted. Don't get me wrong, friendships are important as well, but lets get our perspective straight and start loving our brothers and sisters as if they were our best friends.
God is Great. Let us pray for peace for the world. Wish you all the best.
ReplyDeleteVery well put! I take the fam. for granted way too often...
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of 1 Ti 5: 8 - We prove that our faith in Jesus is genuine by loving and caring for our own family members. May God always give you and your brother and sisters grace to really care for each other as long as life lasts! From one happy mother...
ReplyDeleteAmen! I am always telling this to my own children. It is good to see a young person "get it".
ReplyDeleteOh wow. That is so true. I feel that a lot.
