After Jesus' death and resurrection, a seaside reunion with the Lord taught Peter that being a disciple requires one qualification: a willingness to follow.
A family is a place that relates to one another, it’s a place where one member feels pain and is supported by others who encourage him or her in the hurt. A family is a place that listens when others speak. It’s a place that cares.
When we treat others with indifference we are making an announcement to them, declaring, “I don’t love you.” Towards whom are you apathetic?
