In the Family of Christ

>
> I got into conversation this morning with someone I have only recently met. It so happens this man at one time lived in the same part of the county I had lived many years ago. There flowed from the two of us names of people we both know and the network of families in this community. Connection happened. He and I have a common heritage and celebrated our memories. The interesting thing about this encounter is that it centered in the church. I was there in the church. In other words we are talking about the community of Christ…love, friendship, support, encouragement, faith….yes, we are all God's children and we need one another. Jesus has chosen you and me to be his friend and through us he brings others into friendship with Holy Spirit. We are not only children of God we are also friends and friends bless one another. You never know what will come out of conversation with a new acquaintance.
