Recently I ran across the following quote about Family Life by Edith Schaeffer. She along with her theologian-philosopher husband, Francis Schaeffer founded L'Abri Fellowship in Switzerland. Please take a moment and read and then reflect on what Edith writes about family life:
"Family life is a lost art in many places today. People may live in the same house, apartment, cottage, condominium, boat, or cabin, but they have no pattern for a growing life together."
In other words, what Edith is saying here is that just because a group of people live together under the same roof does not necessarily make it a family. We have to work at family. We must make the time to interact with one another in meaningful ways (the operative words here are "interact" and "meaningful"). So ... what does your "family life" look like? Are you growing together in your faith? In your appreciation for one another? In just doing life TOGETHER?
These are some questions all of us should think about!
Thanks for stopping by . . .
