They Are Everywhere

Cindy invited the girls group from World Impact to come over and have a girls night. There must be 20 strangers here tonight. Some are down in the basement watching a movie. Some are in the computer room playing Nintendo and laughing. They brought over a ton of food, games and movies. They are everywhere!
We had Thanksgiving here a few months ago. There were no stangers. We ate a lot of food, we played games, we watched TV. We're family. It was fun.
How is it that though that tonight seems more family like then Thanksgiving with my family? Who is my family... really? As true as true can be, who is my family? As far as I am concerned, tonight is family night... Thanksgiving is game night. Don't get me wrong, I love my "relatives." I wouldn't trade them for any others but something is really different tonight. Those "strangers" out there ARE my sisters and I am glad that our Father in heaven gave me a house big enough to have them over for family night at the Freeman's. They think it is girls night out but I think it is family night in.
Matthew 12:46-50
46 While He was still speaking to the crowds, behold, His mother and brothers were standing outside, seeking to speak to Him. 47 Someone said to Him, "Behold, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside seeking to speak to You." 48 But Jesus answered the one who was telling Him and said, "Who is My mother and who are My brothers?" 49 And stretching out His hand toward His disciples, He said, "Behold My mother and My brothers! 50 "For whoever does the will of My Father who is in heaven, he is My brother and sister and mother."
I am looking forward to family night at the Barker's.
