The blessing of a church family

Last nigt I was reminded of what a blessing a church family is to one another. Sometimes we get all caught up in the discussion of whether we really need to be an active member of a church or not. Some people believe church is not a necessary part of their life.

But I was humbly reminded last night of the benefit of having an active church family in the lives of its membership. When we find ourselves in need and we desperately need someone to talk with the church family is a great place to go.

It is in those times of need that we see the benefit of a church family because the church has our best interest at heart. We don't judge, just listen and help. We each realize that we all go through tough times and when we are in need we are wanting others to help us without judgment.

I heard a prayer of thanksgiving last night that blessed me of how our church strives to be a place of help and not hurt. I know our church isn't perfect but I also know that our church does its best to be open to people in need.
