True family

My wife has been teaching Japanese to foreign students more than 10 years. Many exchange students want to come back to Japan again. They like Japan because of wonderfulness of Japanese society, livability, delicious Japanese food, and precision of Japanese goods but these students get suspicious about Japanese families.

An exchange student from Hungary said Japan is better than other countries but families in Hungary are much better than Japanese families. Both of her parents work and they are not so rich but whoever comes back home the first in her family cooks dinner and her family has a picnic at a park on weekends. They have a simple life but they think a great deal of family.

Church is God’s family genuinely. However, it’s rare to see a model of good family in Japan. If Japanese people bring a general idea of Japanese family to a church, it’s totally different from the Bible. In Acts, it is recorded about God’s family, not religion and membership. It shows wonderfulness of true family in any countries on this world.
