The little things seem to fall into a rhyme and rhythm of living and we find ourselves learning how to love one another in the midst of it. 13 has challenged me as a parent. How can I love my family like this description requires. Surely I cannot without the power and passion of the Holy Spirit. If the truth is known I find myself looking to please myself and set my own standards and boundaries of control around me.
Life is more than controlling .
It is about the simple moments in time of looking into the faces of loved ones and really seeing them. Really looking into their hearts and knowing them. Please listen to me. Life as a family is about being together and slowing down the pace. This requires persistence, protection, and diligence.
