"Watch out that no bitterness takes root among you! For as it springs up, it causes deep trouble, hurting man..."
Learn how to forgive each other.
A strong family is usually made up of good forgivers. We've probably done more damage by giving in to bitterness than all the other family problems put together have caused. Most of us know how it feels to be betrayed, but we dont know how much about how to forgive. Maybe its too easy to forget the times we've needed someone to forgive us.
Don't be afraid to express your love to each other.
I know you can say "I love you" so often that you cheapen its meaning, but from my experience, saying it too little is the more common problem. I think that if we discovered we had only 5 min left to say all we wanted to say, every phone line in America would be jammed with people calling members of their families to tell them of their love.
Get back to the basics.
The ONE thing, it's loving God first and then taking care of our family and friends. Maybe its time for us to concentrate just one thing ourselves.
Recommit yourself to caring for one another (1 Peter 4:8)
Men want to improve the world. Mothers want to improve the whole family. Fathers teach us what we should become.But mothers teach us WHO WE ARE.
I believe its what goes on inside the walls of your home that determines how much you're going to influence people on the outside.
If you want to be serious about being bold and living out your faith in the world, HOME is the best place to start.
