The love of a family is evident

Went to a Christmas family get together tonight. My in-laws. There was someone there was someone there and met the family for the first time. After a few hours she talked about how christ's love was evident in the room, no matter what beliefs or ideas or religions were present, christ's love is what she saw in the family. That wS so encouraging and renewed my hope that someday my own family can see and share that: christ's love. Not seeing the differences when we see our family members and banking that, but seeing and celebrating what we have in common: our love for the Lord and love for each other. Not making judgements on things that are unseen or on beliefs or anything but on the common love of Christ that we all share. We may express it differently in our private lives but at the end of the day "we all profess the same thing". So my prayer is that we can love each other as brothers and sisters and even if but once a year, get together as a family. Those who voluntarily opt out of family gatherings miss out on what could be the best gathering of the year. Merry Christmas.
