Your Question:
how do i make my family whole again?
Answer:
As a pastor and a father of two teenagers, I've seen firsthand the challenges of keeping a family close. It's easy to get caught up in our own schedules and responsibilities, but it's essential to make time for each other. My wife Susan and I have been married for 19 years, and we've learned that it's crucial to prioritize our relationship and our family's spiritual well-being. One way we've found to keep our family close is to establish a strong spiritual foundation. We've made it a habit to have family devotions and prayer time together, and we've also made sure to serve others together. Whether it's volunteering at a local soup kitchen or participating in a community outreach program, serving others has brought us closer together as a family. We've also made it a point to have regular family meetings to discuss our values and goals, and to make sure we're all on the same page. As a family, we've also learned the importance of forgiveness and reconciliation. When conflicts arise, we make sure to address them in a loving and respectful manner. We pray together, seek wise counsel, and listen to each other's perspectives until we can come to a resolution. By doing so, we've been able to maintain a strong sense of unity and love within our family. As the Bible says, "A house divided against itself cannot stand" (Mark 3:25). By working together and prioritizing our relationship with God and each other, we've been able to build a strong and loving family that is a testament to God's love and redemption.
