Bible Verse: 1 Peter 2:17 New Living Translation (NLT) "Respect everyone, and love the family of believers."
Prayer: "Dear Jesus, Today I ask You to bless my sister, Michelle, on her birthday. I so fondly remember sitting on a stool beside her at the piano, trying my best to imitate her as she pounded out praise to you in song. She could really make those keys ring! Singing together as a family was always a joy, and I praise You for giving me the chance to grow up in a Godly family. Beyond that, I also thank You for giving me the opportunity to have been "adopted" into various church congregations across the country and to have been treated as part of their "family." By Your grace, I know that I am Your child and that everyone who calls You their Savior is my 'brother' or 'sister' in Christ. Help me to always treat each one with love and respect. In Your precious and holy name, AMEN."

"The Family of God"
I'm so glad I'm a part of the Family of God,
I've been washed in the fountain, cleansed by His blood!
Joint heirs with Jesus as we travel this sod,
For I'm part of the family,
The Family of God.
You will notice we say "brother" and "sister" 'round here,
It's because we're a family and these folks are so near;
When one has a heartache, we all share the tears,
And rejoice in each victory in this family so dear.
I'm so glad I'm a part of the Family of God,
I've been washed in the fountain, cleansed by His blood!
Joint heirs with Jesus as we travel this sod,
For I'm part of the family,
The Family of God.
From the door of an orphanage to the house of the King,
No longer an outcast, a new song I sing;
From rags unto riches, from the weak to the strong,
I'm not worthy to be here, but praise God I belong!
I'm so glad I'm a part of the Family of God,
I've been washed in the fountain, cleansed by His Blood!
Joint heirs with Jesus as we travel this sod,
For I'm part of the family,
The Family of God!
"The Family of God"
I'm so glad I'm a part of the Family of God,
I've been washed in the fountain, cleansed by His blood!
Joint heirs with Jesus as we travel this sod,
For I'm part of the family,
The Family of God.
You will notice we say "brother" and "sister" 'round here,
It's because we're a family and these folks are so near;
When one has a heartache, we all share the tears,
And rejoice in each victory in this family so dear.
I'm so glad I'm a part of the Family of God,
I've been washed in the fountain, cleansed by His blood!
Joint heirs with Jesus as we travel this sod,
For I'm part of the family,
The Family of God.
From the door of an orphanage to the house of the King,
No longer an outcast, a new song I sing;
From rags unto riches, from the weak to the strong,
I'm not worthy to be here, but praise God I belong!
I'm so glad I'm a part of the Family of God,
I've been washed in the fountain, cleansed by His Blood!
Joint heirs with Jesus as we travel this sod,
For I'm part of the family,
The Family of God!
