Dr. Paul Brand, a medical missionary in India, observed an unusual phenomenon with several of his patients. When they were recovering from surgery in his hospital, some family members would bring hot meals to them. At night a relative would sleep on the floor under the bed of the recovering patient. When patients awoke in pain, their loved ones would gently massage them until they went back to sleep. Family Theraphy If one member suffers, all the members suffer with it. -1 Corinthianz 12:26 ………… At first Dr. Brand thought this was inappropriate and unsantary. Over time, however, he began to notice that the patients receiving this loving care from family needed less pain medication. They were being soothed by people who loved them. This “family theraphy” brought the warmth and care of home into an unfamiliar place. We can learn from this example of love and care for our family. Those who belong to Christ are part of a spirtual family and needed to be aware of the hurts of other members. The apostle Paul said, “ 1 Cori thians12:26” This principle requires that we fi d practical ways of soothing hurts. Do you know a Christian brother or sister who needs “family theraphy” from you? -Dennis Fisher m.youtube/watch?v=Gx8GWOC_yi4
