It's amazing to me to see how much of a dynamo a strong family unit can be. You can tell when you are around one because their energy pumps you up. When relationship issues arise, they suck up so much of your energy. Opening up the dinner table is something that my family needs to do a little more. Beautiful post, Marla.

I've just had my parents visiting, but I also can look round church and see so many people who've been family to me. We have student lunch families in our church, with the same idea of finding "parents" for the students whilst they are at university who can care for them spiritually and otherwise. But to take it further needs us to open our doors, as you say, to the people less obvious, the marginalised and broken and hurting. Good post Marla.
