I believe God has amazing things in your future. 0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:49.680 I hope you enjoy this message. I just want to 0:01:49.760 --> 0:01:54.040 encourage all of us today to keep healthy connections with 0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:58.000 our families. You know, going forward in twenty seventeen, we 0:01:58.040 --> 0:02:02.040 need to make sure that we're making a personal investment 0:02:02.120 --> 0:02:06.040 into our family members, that we're building strong bonds, and 0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:10.720 we're creating trust and security in our families. It's so 0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:14.160 easy in this culture with everything that we have to 0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:16.520 do and all the technology that we have to get 0:02:16.560 --> 0:02:19.600 things done more quickly. We have to make sure that 0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:23.120 we don't just breeze by one another and not make 0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:26.880 personal connections. There's so much to do, there's so many 0:02:26.880 --> 0:02:29.280 people to see. It's up to us to make the 0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:33.320 choices and priorities to connect with those that we love. 0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:35.640 You know, Joel and I have to make it a 0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:40.480 priority to spend personal quality time together. 0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:41.120 Now. 0:02:41.200 --> 0:02:44.320 Joel and I are together a lot. We work together. 0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:48.280 I'm not talking about coexisting in a home. I'm not 0:02:48.400 --> 0:02:52.799 talking about working in a task together. I'm talking about 0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:57.280 making investments in the life of people that you love, 0:02:58.080 --> 0:03:02.720 making personal time to to find out what they like, 0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:06.000 to be a part of what they like, to enjoy 0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:09.480 their gifts, enjoy their talents. You know, Joel and I, 0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:12.799 we love to take walks together. We love to ride 0:03:12.840 --> 0:03:15.760 our bikes. We'll go on a date night every now 0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:18.920 and then. Sometimes we just get in the car and 0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:22.440 we drive nowhere. But these are times that we have 0:03:22.560 --> 0:03:27.040 created to just be together, not to talk about work, 0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:30.880 not to necessarily talk about a problem or an issue 0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:34.760 that we're facing, but to just be together, maybe not 0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:39.480 even talk at all, maybe just connecting in the presence 0:03:39.560 --> 0:03:43.440 of the moment. You see, We've got to take the 0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:47.320 time and set the priorities and standards in our life 0:03:47.680 --> 0:03:51.440 to connect with those we love. You See, if Joel 0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:54.160 and I just work all the time, if we're together 0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:57.800 but we're just existing and working and under the load 0:03:57.880 --> 0:04:02.720 of life, we're not gonna sure and nurture a relationship 0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:07.600 that's going to flourish, that's going to stay connected. See, 0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:10.640 We've got to join our hearts together and build bridges 0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:14.280 on those things that we connect with on a personal basis. 0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:17.680 You see, I know what to expect from Joel because 0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:22.200 I've spent time quality time connecting with him. He knows 0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:25.799 what to expect from me. We know what we think. 0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:28.440 I know when to leave him alone. I know when 0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:30.000 he wants to sit in his big chair and watch 0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:30.960 Will of Fortune. 0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:31.719 I know. 0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:37.680 The things he likes to do to unplug, and those 0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:40.080 are at the times I go in with all of 0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:43.239 the things that I want to talk about. You see, 0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:46.680 I've learned him so when I have an intimate and 0:04:46.760 --> 0:04:50.599 personal relationship with him, knowing what he likes, what he dislikes, 0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:52.520 what I expect of him, what he expects of me, 0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:55.360 those boundaries that we like to set in our life. 0:04:55.800 --> 0:04:58.920 When I know these things, I can work with him better. 0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:04.760 When you've created something, not just done life together, not 0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:09.920 just doing life together, but creating a life together. That's 0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:13.400 when things will change in your life. See, I believe 0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:17.200 it's the same way with our children. We can't always 0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:21.680 be on the job raising our children. We've got to 0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:25.680 enjoy our children. We need to learn to communicate with 0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:31.799 our children. See their gifts and talents, enjoy their individuality, 0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:36.159 experience their ideas. You see, We've got to get to 0:05:36.240 --> 0:05:40.880 a personal relationship with our children. We've got to create 0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:45.920 a connection so that our connection will grow and flourish 0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:48.920 through the years. I enjoy my children as much today 0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:51.120 as I did when they were little, when they used 0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:55.080 to say the cutest things and do the craziest things. 0:05:56.320 --> 0:05:59.799 You see. I enjoy them as adults in college right now. 0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:04.960 In fact, I learn from them. I enjoy them, I 0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:09.200 allow them to have their ideas. Now, I want to 0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:13.280 tell you, sometimes time seems so short, and we only 0:06:13.320 --> 0:06:15.920 get a certain time with our children. So we fall 0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:21.839 into this trap of making these moments a lesson in life, 0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:25.480 a teaching moment. You're spending time with your child and 0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:28.440 you can see maybe something that could happen or something 0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:31.279 that you've experienced, and you want to insert this life lesson. 0:06:32.040 --> 0:06:35.320 I can tell you I am so guilty of that. 0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:39.839 I am like super guilty of that. But I've learned, 0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:42.120 and you know, my children have helped me learn this 0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:46.040 that not every moment has to be a teaching moment. Yes, 0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:48.120 we want to teach our children, we want to train 0:06:48.200 --> 0:06:51.480 our children, but we also want to enjoy our children. 0:06:52.440 --> 0:06:56.240 We want to develop a relationship with them, we want 0:06:56.279 --> 0:07:00.679 to connect with them. So we have opportunity in the future. 0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:04.400 Now you may have, you know, children that are out 0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:07.440 of your house. That's okay, you can still connect with 0:07:07.480 --> 0:07:12.880 your children. See, it takes work to form good relationships. 0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:16.360 They don't just happen. They must be created. We have 0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:20.840 to sacrifice our personal time to have quality time with 0:07:20.960 --> 0:07:26.840 those we love. It takes a commitment, It takes an availability. See, 0:07:26.840 --> 0:07:30.080 if we're gonna build strong families and strong relationships, we're 0:07:30.080 --> 0:07:33.600 gonna have to do our part. You know, sharing meals 0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:37.360 together is a great way to spend quality time. Maybe 0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:41.040 dinner doesn't work, they're soccer practice. Maybe you've got commitments, 0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:45.040 But can you share breakfast? Can you share lunch? Can 0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:49.920 you have conversation over a snack? You see, study after 0:07:50.000 --> 0:07:54.200 study has proven that when you take time to build 0:07:54.240 --> 0:07:57.920 relationship over a meal, that your children are less likely 0:07:58.000 --> 0:08:02.440 to experiment with drugs and alcohol. That creating this atmosphere 0:08:02.480 --> 0:08:04.680 over a meal four to five times a week, or 0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:07.520 as often as you can it builds such a bond 0:08:07.560 --> 0:08:10.880 of trust and so much self esteem and character that 0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:14.880 they're less likely to go off and allow their peers 0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:18.440 to direct their life because you've made an investment in 0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:26.559 their life. I believe it's our responsibility and it's well 0:08:26.600 --> 0:08:30.320 worth the time and effort to enjoy our family as 0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:33.720 a whole. You know, this isn't just a quick fix. 0:08:34.040 --> 0:08:37.520 This is a long term investment. See what you plant now, 0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:41.840 you're gonna read later. You're gonna enjoy the benefits of 0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:46.600 your family. So it's well worth it. And single parents 0:08:46.640 --> 0:08:50.400 can I tell you that you're more than enough God, 0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:54.120 and you are a majority. There's nothing that God won't 0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:58.439 help you with as you share with your family, as 0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:02.760 you make some sacrifice, even though it's tough. Maybe your 0:09:02.840 --> 0:09:04.880 children are out of the house. I encourage you to 0:09:04.920 --> 0:09:07.280 call them up on the phone, invite them over for dinner, 0:09:08.200 --> 0:09:10.720 meet them at a restaurant, not to tell them what 0:09:10.760 --> 0:09:12.679 they're doing. Wrong. Not to tell them what they can 0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:15.440 do better, but just to tell them that you're proud 0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:19.480 of them, to tell them how great they are. You see, 0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:22.880 sometimes we want to mold our family members into the 0:09:22.880 --> 0:09:25.240 shape that we want them to be. We want to 0:09:25.280 --> 0:09:28.440 fix all their problems. But I'm telling you right now, 0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:32.000 we can't fix their problems. Only God can. All we 0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:36.640 can do is love them, show unconditional love. Spend quality time, 0:09:36.880 --> 0:09:41.840 and make personal investments. Just take time to have fun 0:09:41.880 --> 0:09:44.320 with your family. Maybe you want to go to the movies, 0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:49.280 play some games. Whatever you do, just make sure that 0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:53.080 you're laughing, that you're having fun, that life is not 0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:56.640 so serious and such a struggle that you forget the 0:09:56.760 --> 0:10:01.800 joys of life, making memories and laughing. Laughter is a medicine. 0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:05.600 The Bible talks about him, Mary heart is like a medicine. 0:10:05.720 --> 0:10:08.080 I'm telling you it will fix a lot of things. 0:10:08.640 --> 0:10:11.160 I was reading in the Bible about Sarah and Abraham, 0:10:11.240 --> 0:10:14.000 and many of you know the story. God had made 0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:17.000 a promise to Abraham and Sarah that they would have 0:10:17.080 --> 0:10:20.440 a child, and years and years had passed and they'd 0:10:20.440 --> 0:10:23.160 struggled through life. I'm sure it was weary. I'm sure 0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:25.600 from some of the mistakes they had made. They were 0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:29.320 burning down. One day, God showed up at Abraham's tent 0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:33.600 and he said, Abraham, this time next year you're gonna 0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:38.480 have this son. And you know what Abraham did. Abraham laughed. Now, 0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:41.200 the Bible doesn't tell us why he laughed, but you 0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:43.440 know why I believe he laughed. I believe he laughed 0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:47.520 because he needed a stretch reliever. He needed to just say, 0:10:47.520 --> 0:10:51.280 Oh God, okay. You know the Bible talks about you know, 0:10:51.320 --> 0:10:53.000 when you look into your future, you have to be 0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:55.320 able to laugh. You have to be able to trust 0:10:55.360 --> 0:10:58.480 God with your future. Laugh at those things to come. 0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:02.480 Laughter help. When Sarah heard she was gonna have a child, 0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:05.960 what she did She let out a giggle herself. You 0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:09.760 see that stress reliever. But the great thing about it 0:11:09.800 --> 0:11:13.040 is that time next year they had that sign. They 0:11:13.080 --> 0:11:15.920 had that sign. I can't help to believe that laughter 0:11:16.040 --> 0:11:19.880 is a medicine. Laughter lightens the load. Listen, Let there 0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:23.800 be laughter, Let there be fun. Nothing is that serious 0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:29.040 that we can't create this atmosphere I've laughter. See, we 0:11:29.120 --> 0:11:31.520 have to set our families up to win. And I 0:11:31.559 --> 0:11:35.240 believe when we take the necessary steps to build connections. 0:11:35.440 --> 0:11:39.480 We're placing value on our family. And when our family 0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:43.440 feels valued, when they feel loved, when you spend quality time, 0:11:43.720 --> 0:11:46.160 you know what it does. It feels respect, it feels 0:11:46.280 --> 0:11:50.440 character within the family. And again, when you face those challenges, 0:11:50.760 --> 0:11:53.680 you've got bridges to one another's heart. You've got each other. 0:11:53.960 --> 0:11:57.440 You're linked. See, we all love to have the people 0:11:57.480 --> 0:12:00.320 in our life give us time and attention, to be 0:12:00.360 --> 0:12:03.880 taken care of. It just warms our heart. So we 0:12:03.960 --> 0:12:07.080 have to remember, if it's good for us, it's good 0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:11.280 for them. Listen, let's create unity in our home. The 0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:14.880 Bible says where there is unity, there's a commanded blessing. 0:12:15.679 --> 0:12:18.560 Every one of your family members can walk in blessing. 0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:23.760 You've got the power and ability to be the one 0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:27.200 who brings in the fun, who is the spice of life. 0:12:27.880 --> 0:12:31.640 Nothing is that serious. Create laughter and know that where 0:12:31.679 --> 0:12:35.680 there is community, God has commanded the blessing. I want 0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:38.080 to pray for your family right now. Lift your hand 0:12:38.160 --> 0:12:41.080 right now, if you represent family, if you have a family, 0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:43.400 if you want God to intervene in your family, because see, 0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:45.760 I think He sees your hands and you may not 0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:48.400 be connected to some of those family members you may 0:12:48.400 --> 0:12:50.880 be saying, God, I want this connection. Can I have 0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:52.960 it that? Well? Can I tell you one of the 0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:55.440 greatest ways you can be connected and is in prayer. 0:12:55.559 --> 0:12:58.440 You see, there's no distance in prayer. You may not 0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:01.240 be able to be in the presence of that person 0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:03.480 that you want that connection with, But can I tell 0:13:03.520 --> 0:13:06.840 you this, God's in their presence. And if you're praying 0:13:06.880 --> 0:13:09.760 to God, God will do the work. Because see, if 0:13:09.760 --> 0:13:12.600 we pray and we don't give up, God will honor 0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:16.600 our prayer. God works by faith, He works by perseverance. 0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:19.960 So no, when you pray, the moment you pray, the 0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:22.360 tide of the battle is beginning to turn. God is 0:13:22.440 --> 0:13:25.600 on your side. He wants that unity in your home. 0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:28.200 I believe all we have to have is a willing heart, 0:13:28.559 --> 0:13:30.960 and when we're willing and obedient, we'll eat the good 0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:33.400 of the land. Amen. Father, I thank you for every 0:13:33.480 --> 0:13:37.280 family represented here today, all those who are listening are viewing. Father. 0:13:37.400 --> 0:13:40.600 I thank you that we are committing our family afresh 0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:42.839 and new to you God. I thank you that we 0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:46.600 will build bridges and not walls. I thank you Father 0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:51.040 that we will make a sacrifice to spend quality time 0:13:51.080 --> 0:13:53.880 with our family, and Lord, you will give us ideas 0:13:53.960 --> 0:13:56.920 and resources in the time. Father, I thank you that 0:13:56.960 --> 0:13:58.960 we're gonna look at our calendar and we're gonna say, 0:13:59.000 --> 0:14:02.160 is that really? And we're going to put our family 0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:05.840 on the calendar. God, I thank you that you will, Father, 0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:09.400 draw our families together. That there is anything that hasn't 0:14:09.440 --> 0:14:12.400 been done or anything that's been in the past. Father, 0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:15.319 I thank you that you are covering those past mistakes. 0:14:15.640 --> 0:14:18.000 That you are covering that, and Father, we are moving 0:14:18.040 --> 0:14:21.200 forward with you. We're not walking in guilt or condemnation. 0:14:21.520 --> 0:14:23.640 But Father, we know with you, every day is a 0:14:23.680 --> 0:14:26.560 new beginning, that your mercies are fresh and new. And 0:14:26.600 --> 0:14:29.320 I thank you that you are blowing the mercy of 0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:32.760 your favor on our families right now. Father, I thank 0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:35.440 you that we will love our families. We won't try 0:14:35.480 --> 0:14:38.760 to shape them into people that look like us, but Father, 0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:41.640 we will enjoy who they are as individuals. We will 0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:44.440 learn from them and grow from them. Father, I thank 0:14:44.440 --> 0:14:47.280 you that when we're tempted, Father, to say the wrong thing, 0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:49.960 that you'll just zip up our lips and allow us 0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:53.640 Father to just breathe, to just take time to know 0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:57.160 there's always time for correction. There's always time to get 0:14:57.200 --> 0:15:00.120 our message in there. But Father that we will care 0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:05.240 eight times of memories, strong connections for the future. That Father, God, 0:15:05.360 --> 0:15:07.400 you will do this for us. You will help us 0:15:07.920 --> 0:15:10.320 as we look to you. Thank you for blessing our 0:15:10.360 --> 0:15:13.400 family members. We see unity in our family, whether it's 0:15:13.440 --> 0:15:15.760 there or not. We're looking through our eyes of faith 0:15:16.160 --> 0:15:19.880 and we see our family united and strong walking in 0:15:19.960 --> 0:15:24.840 the commanded blessing in Jesus's name.
