Your Question:

How can I keep my family's spirits up during this time?

Answer:

As a pastor and a husband, I've learned that keeping our family's spirits up during challenging times requires intentional effort. One way to do this is by setting aside dedicated time for spiritual growth and connection. This could be as simple as having a daily family devotional, where we read the Bible and discuss its application to our lives. By doing so, we create a space for shared intimacy on a deeply spiritual level, which is essential for building a strong and supportive family.

Another way to uplift our family's spirits is by serving others together. As the Bible says, "Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me" (Matthew 25:40). Volunteering at a local homeless shelter or nursing home can be a great way to serve others while also creating opportunities for our children to develop empathy and compassion. We can also involve our kids in simple acts of service, like washing feet or helping with household chores, to teach them the value of humility and hard work.

As a family, we can also make a conscious effort to look for the Spirit's work in our lives, even in the small, everyday moments. By being alert to times when someone loves rather than rages, says no to temptation, or does something that isn't natural, we can recognize the Spirit's presence and guidance. By doing so, we can create a culture of gratitude, hope, and joy that will carry us through even the most difficult times.
