"You don't choose your family" - The Rev. Dr. Kurt Gerhard, June 10, 2012

Listen

1 Samuel 8.4-20, 11.14-15, Mark 3.20-35

You don't choose your family.  They are God's gift to you, as you are to them.  ~Desmond Tutu


There is something that tugs at the heart when we use the word ‘family.’ It brings up a nostalgic picture from our memories of that moment when we realized that we were loved. Throw into that, famous families like the Brady Bunch, the Cleavers, or the Cosbys or maybe the Hallmark Hall of Fame movie with the prodigal turning herself around and returning home, or the parent who sneaks in to hear an estranged child play the piano. Our feelings for family run deep and for most of us, those feelings are warm. We are so connected to families that we want to transfer that word to our most important groups. We say they are “like family.”  We certainly do for St. Patrick’s or for our schools, or camps, or even our workplaces. We consider the family designation as a good thing.
