Where were you on Mother’s Day? I was eating brunch at the Muslim Educational Trust. There I met Karim from Yemen and Noel from Jerusalem. The food was excellent and the conversation was life giving. Karim had lost his mother. My mother died on Mother’s Day in 2013. Noel has some of the same health issues I do. We shared our human frailty, need for prayer and belief in a merciful God.
You might say we celebrated being brothers and sisters in the Creator’s family. In the cafeteria where I ate, there was a plaque about family on the wall. The kind of plaque you would find at craft store.
Our Family
Laughs and Learns
Argues and Apologizes
Plays and Protects
Gives and Grows
Chaotic and Close
United and Unselfish
Loves and Lives
Happily Ever After
Isn’t that what we all want? Isn’t that what God wants for us? We should all be crafted into a family.
Peace,
John
