Great and Hidden Things: Blessed With Family

We had a special time over Christmas here in Scotland. Both my dad and my sister, neither of which had ever been to the UK, were able to visit for a week. They were able to meet Roman for the first time, and we were able to get them out to see some sights while here. Roman definitely got more cuddle time than he was use to, and my dad and sister got their baby fix! I think it was also special for Lydia because it was her first time out of the country, and with the possibility of studying abroad in Scotland falling through, she was still able to come and see some really cool history and art!

The time made me think about how special it is to be around family during Christmas, but it also made me remember that as Christians, we've been adopted into God's family through His Son Jesus Christ, and at the end of the day...that's all we really need. Jesus is everything, He has to be everything.

That being said, God definitely designed us to be in fellowship with other believers for we are all co-heirs with Christ. The fact that we have been blessed to be across the pond over in Scotland with our Christian brothers and sisters these past 9 months has been such a humbling, amazing, and growing experience.

Christmas was just such a great reminder this year of how blessed we truly are on so many different levels. Blessed to be part of God's family, blessed to be part of the Harvest Glasgow family, blessed to see some of my biological family, blessed to be supported by our Harvest Rochester family.
