Your Question:

How do we show love to those who are struggling when life gets busy?

Answer:

As a pastor and a husband, I've learned that showing love to those who are struggling when life gets busy requires intentionality and creativity. When my wife Susan and I are busy, it's easy to get caught up in our own schedules and priorities, but we make it a point to find moments to show love and care for each other. For instance, we'll plan walks or sit together in front of the fireplace, even if it's just for a few minutes. These small actions speak volumes about our love and commitment to each other.

When it comes to showing love to those who are struggling, I believe that seeking peace is a profound way to demonstrate love. As I've learned from studying The Peacemaker by Ken Sande, seeking peace involves being patient and kind, even in difficult situations. This means taking the time to listen to others, pray for them, and show kindness in tangible ways. My wife and I make it a point to spend group time in prayer for others, and we encourage our children, Joshua and Rebecca, to do the same. By doing so, we're teaching them the value of seeking peace and showing love to those around us.

In my own life, I've learned that love can be expressed in many ways, even when life gets busy. One way is to schedule time for focused attention, whether it's a walk, a picnic, or simply sitting together. I've also learned that love is not just about grand gestures, but about the small, everyday actions that show kindness and patience. As a pastor, I've seen the power of love in action, and I believe that it's essential to pray for the Spirit of love and seek opportunities to demonstrate love to those around us. By doing so, we can create a climate of love and affection that brings joy and peace to those around us.
