Family – A Brief Reflection

From today’s church bulletin and my message… family can be diverse and sometimes messy. However, at the end of the day, aren’t we called to love?

We are made for goodness. We are made for love. We are made for friendliness. We are made for togetherness. We are made for all of the beautiful things that you and I know. We are made to tell the world that there are no outsiders. All are welcome: black, white, red, yellow, rich, poor, educated, not educated, male, female, gay, straight, all, all, all. We all belong to this family, this human family, God’s family. – Desmond Tutu
