Your Question:
How do I get my family to support me?
Answer:
As a pastor and a father of two young children, I can attest that maintaining a close-knit family in today's busy world can be challenging. However, I've learned that with determination and a willingness to make an effort, it's possible to keep your family tight and together. My wife Susan and I have been married for 19 years, and we've made it a priority to spend quality time with our children, Joshua and Rebecca. One way I've found to keep our family close is by initiating planning and activities that we can all participate in together. Whether it's a family game night, a camping trip, or a volunteering opportunity, we make it a point to prioritize time together. I also try to be supportive and understanding, even when my children make mistakes. I remind them that we've all made dumb decisions in the past, but God was with us and saw us through. By being a source of encouragement and guidance, I hope to help my children develop a strong sense of faith and values. As a family, we also make it a point to have regular family meetings to discuss our values and goals. We've created a mission statement that we read together daily, which reminds us to diligently care for our hearts, minds, and relationships. This helps us stay focused on what's truly important and gives us a sense of purpose and direction. By working together and making an effort to prioritize our relationships, I believe we can build a strong and loving family that will last a lifetime.
