Your Question:

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

Answer:

As a pastor and a father, I've learned that keeping our family's spirits up during difficult times requires intentional effort. It's not just about experiencing deep joy and peace, but also about being alert to the small, everyday moments when our family members choose to love and do what's right, even when it's hard. As it says in Matthew 25:40, "Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me." This reminds me that our family's spiritual growth is not just about individual efforts, but also about serving others together.

One way we can do this is by setting a family mission statement that guides our actions and decisions. We can write it together and review it regularly, making adjustments as needed. This helps us stay focused on what's truly important and ensures that we're living out our values as a family. We can also use this opportunity to serve others, whether it's volunteering at a local shelter or simply being present for one another. By doing so, we can experience the joy of serving others and deepening our relationships with each other.

In our family, we've found that setting aside dedicated time for spiritual growth and connection has been incredibly valuable. We try to make it fun and engaging, using tools like Bible studies and prayer calendars to help us stay on track. By prioritizing our spiritual growth and serving others, we can build a strong foundation for our family's well-being, even in difficult times. As a family, we can learn to rely on each other and on God, and experience the peace and joy that comes from being united in our faith.
