We are within arms length of Christmas Day. A time of year when we focus on the fact that God loves us so much that he sent his son to earth. When we focus on the fact that Jesus loves us enough that he would be willing to set aside his royalty to identify with us in our most vulnerable state… that of an infant.
While our culture puts an emphasis and effort on pulling families together and trying to look past the differences expressed throughout the year, I am so happy to be part of a family that looks past the differences. While my nuclear family does a good job at extending grace, I’m thinking primarily of my spiritual family. A family that extends grace to each other, because we have been extended grace by God.
