“And his mother and his brothers came, and standing outside they sent to him and called him. And a crowd was sitting around him, and they said to him, “Your mother and your brothers are outside, seeking you.” And he answered them, “Who are my mother and my brothers?” And looking about at those who sat around him, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! For whoever does the will of God, he is my brother and sister and mother.””

All,

This stands out because Jesus says, “For whoever does the will of God, he is my brother and sister and mother.” How great is it to have friends in Christ? It may sound odd to non-christians because you discuss how something was “God’s plan” or how you feel “led” to make a certain decision. It’s very fulfilling to me to have Christ centered conversation with friends because we talk about weighty issues that would otherwise cause me stress or anxiety. Please pray that we and our friends are thankful for our community of believers. Please pray for the Pritchard family.
