Don’t miss this beautiful duet performance of ‘The Family Of God.’ Rhonda Michelle loves music. Her YouTube profile states, “This is where I share the music that God has given me to share. Original music that I have written. I play all the instruments and also do the harmonies. Occasionally, I upload a video of some activity or of my family. I hope you find something here that will bless and encourage you today or even make you smile. Have a good day, and God bless you always.” Rhonda's profile warmly invites viewers to find blessings, encouragement and smiles through her music.
This video captured Rhonda with perhaps her mother or grandmother in a hospital room. You have to wonder if this pair volunteered for the day to bring comfort, love, and worship to patients needing some encouraging words. The song they chose reminds us we are not alone as they sang ‘The Family of God,’ written in 1970 by Bill and Gloria Gaither.
‘You will notice we say “brother and sister” ’round here,
it’s because we’re a family and these are so near;
when one has a heartache, we all share the tears,
and rejoice in each victory in this family so dear.’
Their voices, weathered by age yet filled with the joy of the Lord, echoed through the room. "You will notice we say 'brother and sister' 'round here," they sang, "it's because we're a family and these are so near." The simple melody carried profound truths of shared heartaches, communal joys, and the richness found in belonging to God's family.
‘From the door of an orphanage to the house of the King,
no longer an outcast, a new song I sing;
from rags unto riches, from the weak to the strong,
I’m not worthy to be here, but praise God, I belong!’
As they sang, "From the door of an orphanage to the house of the King," the room filled with a sense of peace and hope. Their voices proclaimed a journey from isolation to belonging, from weakness to strength, echoing the sentiments of the apostle Paul in Ephesians. We hope this musical moment lifted your spirits and reminds you that if you feel alone, you only need to lift your eyes to the Lord and sing about the incredible family we have in God.
Hebrews 10:24-25 "And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching."
