Your Question:

How will my family survive without me?

Answer:

The thought of my family surviving without me is a daunting one. As a pastor, I've seen families struggle to stay connected, especially when faced with the demands of work, school, and social lives. It's easy to get caught up in the busyness of life and lose sight of what's truly important. But I've learned that with determination and intentional planning, families can stay close and thrive.

As a husband and father, I know that my wife Susan and our children, Joshua and Rebecca, are the center of my life. I've seen how easily they can get caught up in their own worlds, and how easy it is for us to drift apart. But I've also seen the power of prayer and intentional effort to keep our family close. I've prayed for my family, and I've made a conscious effort to prioritize our time together. I've initiated planning and activities that bring us closer, and I've sought to be a godly role model for my children.

If I were to be absent from my family's life, I know that they would struggle to stay connected and navigate the challenges of life on their own. But I also know that with faith, prayer, and a commitment to their spiritual well-being, they would be able to find their way and stay close to each other and to God. I've seen it happen in my own family, and I've seen it happen in the families I've pastored. With God's help, families can overcome even the toughest challenges and stay strong and united.
