Is Your Family First?

Monday, December 22, 2014

I pray as you are getting ready to spend this special time of the year with your family, and you will enjoy some down-time together. I know you have run hard this year and deserve this time together. We must make our families a priority over ministry. During this busy time of the season, we tend to get out of balance in this area.

Make a commitment to your husband and family that in 2015 family will be a priority! If not a priority, everything gets out of balance and life becomes miserable.

On another note, as you celebrate the birth of our Savior, I pray it will not only be a great family time, but also a worshipful time as you reflect His birth and also your rebirth. Of course this is the greatest Gift on earth, which was His sole purpose of coming to earth.

Let’s celebrate His Birth and our Re-birth!
