I have been in a hiatus for a minute, ya know just dealing with everyday life! I have been dealing with or not dealing with some family issues. One of the most hardest things to deal with, within family, especially a close family like my own. A close intermediate family, are those that have the most difficulty in working out their dis agreements in the time of conflict. While we realize that it is ok for us to agree to disagree, the problem usually comes when the disagreement is one that is not really discussed or debated.
We often shy away from saying what is in our hearts, for fear of hurting ones feelings and out of love we'd rather not say what we are really feeling . I believe that a strong family unit is or can be a ministry. The state of the world at its present time, is utterly out of control and the devil is attacking the families first!!!! He knows that within a family whose foundation is built on righteousness and love, can be a mighty force! one leading by example and in the will of God! There are too many family units that have been broken, sisters not speaking for years at a time, mothers and daughters distance in each others lives, fathers and sons with no relationships at all. It is really sad that the majority of these problems arise from silly arguements, strong disargeements or past issues, that have never been brought to the forefront.
So maybe something that we could do is to have family forums when the family is together, like at holidays after eating when everyone is relaxed, fat and full! take that time to sit and talk about whatever issues there may be , if any or just about life in general, or if you are lik emy family that try and get together often, make family forum its own day! Always pray before you start your family forum and be sure to end it with a prayer as well. Be creative, like having different topics at each forum, giving each topic for the next forum at the end so that you can all have time to think about the topic and maybe prepare any questions. It's also a good time put the old saying in motion, "the family that prays together stays together". Have a different famliy member lead the prayer each time, this is also a great idea for getting our children involved in the power of prayer, have them lead too!.
I pray that each of you that may read this, will keep your family unit strong, or build your family foundation, if you have yet to do so, until the next entry be blessed and proclaim it~!
Please look forward to more on "Babylon"......A One World Government
