Your Question:
What if I have to rely on my family for everything?
Answer:
As a pastor and a husband, I understand the importance of relying on family for everything. When life gets busy, and schedules seem to conspire against us, it's easy to feel like we're losing our connection with our loved ones. But I believe that's when we need to make a conscious effort to prioritize our family relationships. In our family, my wife Susan and I have learned to rely on each other and our children, Joshua and Rebecca, to stay connected. We make it a point to have family time together, whether it's a game night, a family outing, or just a quiet evening at home. We also pray together as a family, which has helped us to stay grounded and focused on what's truly important. By doing so, we've been able to maintain a strong sense of unity and solidarity that has been a blessing to us. As the Bible says, "Be of the same mind toward one another" (Romans 12:16). This is a principle that I've tried to live out in my own family. By being humble and willing to listen to one another, we've been able to navigate the challenges of life together and come out stronger on the other side. I encourage you to do the same - prioritize your family relationships, pray together, and make a conscious effort to stay connected, even when life gets busy.
