I think that we may think we are too busy for friends and family for selfish and economic reasons. We live in a society where community and family are not valued as much as it once was. We are so focused on "self" and individualism. Our relationships with friends can sometimes be based on economics rather than genuine relationships where we sincerely care for one another just because. What I mean by economics and how it divides us is that we often are more focused on what jobs, what neighborhoods we live in, social status, social circles and if you are not in the same economic circles then you are left out per say and in some cases experience a sense of loss and as Satan would have it you become withdrawn from others, even your christian and immediate family. Placing too much emphasis on self and in turn failing to reach out and stay connected. What does Jesus' attendance at this wedding tell us about him? I think that his attendance at this wedding signifies that he is with us always to fulfill his will or have it fulfilled through us. I am still pondering this because I had not thought about it in the way that the question is being asked. How can we apply that learning in our own personal lives? I think in my own personal life, rebuilding relationships and friendships that have drifted. Continuing to reach out and stay connected with family( church and immediate) and not becoming all consumed with some of the curves that life sends us that it keeps me from staying connected. I might be a blessing to someone or someone might be a blessing to me but if I don't maintain the relationship I will or they will miss out on an opportunity that God may want fulfilled.
