Your Question:
What does love look like in the chaos of everyday life?
Answer:
As a pastor, I've seen firsthand how love can be a complex and multifaceted thing in the chaos of everyday life. It's not just a feeling, but a choice we make every day to prioritize the needs of others over our own. My wife Susan and I have been married for 19 years, and I've learned that love is not just about the romantic feelings we had when we first fell in love, but about the hard work and sacrifice we put into our relationship every day. In our household, I've seen my 17-year-old son Joshua and 14-year-old daughter Rebecca learn about love in different ways. As a parent, I've tried to model what it means to love unconditionally, even when it's hard. I've seen Joshua struggle with his own identity and sense of purpose, and I've tried to be there for him as a source of guidance and support. Rebecca, on the other hand, is still learning about the importance of empathy and kindness towards others. For me, love is about being present in the midst of chaos and uncertainty. It's about choosing to put others first, even when it's hard. As I read through the Bible, I'm reminded of the sacrificial love of Jesus, who gave up his own life for the sake of others. That's the kind of love I want to model in my own life, and I pray that my family will see that kind of love in action every day. Whether it's through a kind word, a listening ear, or a helping hand, I want to show my family that love is not just a feeling, but a choice we make every day.
