We are faimly

Our Daily Bread
Sister Sledge sang a song called We are Family that has become a standard for family reunions and many other special occasions.  It is a still a cool song to me!

For the church, we can sing We are Family or We are Community. Like an family or community, we always have some kind of challenge to keep unity.  We are only human with all our faults and fears.  The key is to put those things aside as best we can as we interact with our "family" so we can keep Christ in the center of it all.  Like the sermon this morning, we need to focus!

Lord, we thank you for the Family of God.  Please help us keep you as our focus!

Psalm Sunday
I should have known on of my favorite prayer time passages is from the Psalms - Psalm 136.  This a great one to read every day!  His love truly endures forever!
