Well, no wonder your smile is always so pretty in your pics! You have a beautiful family!

I wish they were my biological kids, but they are part of our congregation. But that counts as "family", since many times we find ourselves closer to our "spiritual" families than we do to our "bio" families.

Granted, blood is thicker than water, but I think love is thicker than blood.

Granted, blood is thicker than water, but I think love is thicker than blood.

Actually, that phrase is always misinterpreted to mean, our blood relationships are to be closer than other other relationships we have.

But, the phrase means just the opposite. It originally meant.....The one with whom you share a "blood covenant" relationship, is to be closer than the relationship you have with someone you have shared the water of the womb.

Nowdays, we don't understand the concept of a blood covenant. The ancient people groups did, as the Native Americans did when we came and made "blood covenants" and then broke them!

Here is a teaching on the meaning of the Blood Covenant.
Written by my husband.
