The Family Resemblance

Daughter #1 recently took her little daughter to meet the Elliot relatives. So far we haven't seen any photos of them with Grandpa and Grandma Elliot but I love this photo of Ruth Anna and Erin with all my husband's sisters.

I can never quite get over how much Ruth Anna looks like her Aunt Ruth Ellen! No question about this family resemblance!

I thought about family resemblance in the family of God today both in the morning Bible Study and tonight at the College and Career Pizza Party. I wish I could find what C.S Lewis said on the subject... he puts things so well but I think there is a "family resemblance" and that its important to have a sense of what my son used to call "the family honor".

Do you embarrass your brothers and sisters in Christ? For that matter, do you embarrass God?!

"Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us."
