Family

Nothing scares or bothers us most than when our loved ones are sick. Sure we're not married so we don't have to bother about kids, or wife/husband. But we have families, and we still worry about them. You know, it's a weird thing, family, can't live with them, can't live without them.

Family.. they sure know how to pull our strings, get on our nerves, pick on us, nag at us, lecture us, isn't it? But that same family takes care of us when we're sick, when we need a ride to school, or tuition, give us pocket money, buys stuff for us, stick up for us, see why I say it's weird? But family, God gave them to us for a reason. Sometimes we may think we landed in the wrong one, and our friends' families are much nicer.. and sometimes, just sometimes we wish we can trade our family for someone else's. But you know what? God doesn't make mistakes, so when he chose our families, there wasn't any mistake. That is comforting to know.

So, whenever anyone of our family is sick, we worry, it's natural. So what do we do when we worry? No, don't run around like a headless chicken, no, no, no, that would be an unpleasant sight. What we need to do is to run to Jesus! Pray for God's healing to be upon our loved ones, for grace and mercy. Pray. Some of our loved ones are sick right now, and we as the family of Christ must also pray for them. Pray.
