Family: It's A Spiritual Thing

You know remembering and connecting to our roots and family is critical to our spiritual health. Sometimes this fast-paced-digitized-noise polluted world of ours prevents us from taking time to reflect on this. Over the past few weeks since my mother departed this life early Thanksgiving morning, I have interacted more with my family on an intense level than any other time in recent decades.

What I have realized during this period about family is that you don’t need to see them every day or week, or even speak to them regularly to know that there is a deeply rooted and inextricable connection that you share with them. Yes, no one can get on your nerves like a brother, sister, aunt, cousin, etc. But you are part of them and they are part of you. It’ a spiritual thing.

God chose for us to share a closer bond with them than the rest of our human family. So I am thankful for all of my family no matter how lovable or crazy they may be. I hope you all take a minute to lovingly reflect on your family and remember to see them without anger, judgment, and all of the things that prevent us from fully sharing the God given spiritual connection we share with them.
