There are embarrassing moments in life! If you have a sibling, chances are, they will be involved to some degree! Older brothers will take any opportunity they can to make sure you are not too comfortable! And, younger siblings tend to return the challenge when they get the chance...
For some reason, this week I have been reminiscing about my childhood. As I have grown older, and my immediate family is gone, I value my children and grandchildren. It is interesting to watch their interactions and how their life challenges are met. I have fond memories of holidays and summers with my mom and dad. My brothers were unique individuals and each of us was extremely different.
Stop for a moment today and take a long look at your family. Take a look at where they are, who they are and the special attributes they have. After looking at their gifts, say a prayer for them and give them words of encouragement, love and friendship. Yes, friendship. It is invaluable!
Proverbs 18:24 There is a friend who sticks closer than a brother... Our Creator is closer than any family member. He is our first family who has placed us in earthly families. If your family is no longer available, choose Him. He is close and will never embarrass you!
