A Family of 1 Generation

I read this today and thought it was great. It is from Adam Lehman over at adamlehman.us and this article I thought was really good. What do you think?

“Your family isn’t just 1 generation. It can’t be.

For Christmas, you go see some ancient aunt who forgets your name or you visit your newest nephew who can’t control when he poops or pees.

Great grandpa, mother, uncle, cousin, daughter, niece & in-law.

Family cover many, many generations.

So how is it that Jesus’ family has become so segmented? How have the teenagers relocated to a room to themselves full of funny jokes, games & lock-ins while the “adults” are sitting placidly in pews listening to the “important stuff?”

We’ve got to break the barriers between “adults” & “teens” & “elderly.” We’re neutering the church family’s greatest strength. We’ve separated each generation from one another and now there is being no shared story, no transfer of wisdom, no encouragement and no unity.”

Thoughts?
