"PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS"
By John Kerr

            The last two weekends we were in Ohio to spend some time with family.  The first weekend we were there to see our granddaughters, Audrey and Zoey, in a cross country meet, and to see and hear Audrey play her violin with seven others in the park Sunday afternoon.  It was easy to see that the spectators at the cross country meet were mostly family, and most all of us were parents and grandparents.  The string ensemble event had a very low attendance, again mainly parents and grandparents.

            The second weekend we went to see the school play:  “SHREK”.  Audrey and Zoey both had multiple parts in the play.  Of course we thoroughly enjoyed it.  There was a pretty big audience there, and again you could tell it was family and friends, mostly parents and grandparents.  I suppose that no one came from a distance, and probably not locally, just to see the performance.  Most of us will probably not ever see a Broadway play.  This is about family.  The rousing applause we participated in demonstrated how much we appreciate our family.

            We are the family of God.  We are God’s children.  I John 3:1 See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!  We have a special relationship with God.  When we pray, the Holy Spirit uses the term “Abba”, as Jesus did when he prayed in the garden of Gethsemane.

            Romans 8:14For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. 15 For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” 16 The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him.
