SABRINA
I recently had our two oldest grandchildren, Will and Aubrye, with me. Aubrye, who is six, began naming the pets in their family.... Dixie, Bear, Elmo, Stella, and Penelope. Will quickly said, Aubrye, Stella died, she is not part of our family. Aubrye replied, yes she is, we have her memories and that makes her part of our family.
How profound. What a comforting observation. Just because our loved ones may no longer be with us, they are no less a part of our family. It also made me think of how we, as families, need to be very intentional about taking time to make those memories with our loved ones. In today's hectic world do we take time to slow down the pace of life and spend quality time with our families to talk around the table, take a walk spend time with our older relatives?
At creation, God realized the need for family and the relationships that evolve through family. If your family does not have a church home, I also would like to invite you to join my family, three generations, at Central this Sunday. We would love to see you there!
