Jesus Fiberglass Statues

It is not uncommon now in days to lose touch with old friends or relatives, especially when they are not in close proximity to us. In days of old, families often remained in the same general area, and were very close nit, relying on each other, not only emotionally, but also for sustenance. In a modern world where we have virtually any convenience available at the tips of our fingers, that same need is no longer so strongly felt. While we may call a relative or friend to quickly say hello, we no longer need to be so close to barter with them, or help them so they will, in turn, be there to help us when we need it. The sad part is that no longer having that immediate necessity has, in a way, has made us value other things more than family. Jesus once said, "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another." While this is a general statement, we feel it is especially important in the context of family. One of the most wonderful things about being religious, is that it often does inspire us to create closer and stronger bonds with those that should be truly important in our lives.
