Matthew 2:19-23, The Return from Egypt

Joseph, guided by the angel of the Lord, moved his family around to keep them safe. This would mean leaving their home, family, and friends. Today, we too make decisions regarding what is best for our own family.  We look for safe neighborhoods, good schools, and jobs that will provide money. But do we work so many hours to buy things, that we can’t give our family what they crave the most?   

Lord, help me to be a loving presence for my family, providing for their physical, and their spiritual well-being.
