I hear it all the time in the states that family is the most important thing in someone's life, but sadly, most can't even treat their relatives with any respect at all. Here in Kenya we have been meeting families that are truly, all about family, not just saying their all about family but actually being all about family. Here in Kenya you have generations of family living together, working together, and just being together. You'll rarely see that back home, you may see some families hang out here and there, but not living together, or working together, sadly most don't even hang out together. Back home we are so wrapped up in our daily lives and ourselves, we don't have time for family, and we certainly don't worry about their needs more then our own. Jesus tells us to, love others as we would love ourselves, there's a lot of meaning to that but it applies to everyone including family. My prayer for everyone tonight as I got to bed, is to become more of a giver then a taker, for myself, my family, and everyone else I know.
The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”
Mark 12:31 ESV
