You know, going forward 40 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 4: in twenty seven, we need to make sure that we're 41 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 4: making a personal investment into our family members, that we're 42 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 4: building strong bonds, and we're creating trust and security in 43 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 4: our families. It's so easy in this culture with everything 44 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 4: that we have to do and all the technology that 45 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 4: we have to get things done more quickly. We have 46 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 4: to make sure that we don't just breeze by one 47 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 4: another and not make personal connections. There's so much to do, 48 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 4: there's so many people to see. It's up to us 49 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 4: to make the choices and priorities to connect with those 50 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 4: that we love. You know, Joel and I have to 51 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 4: make it a priority to spend personal quality time together. 52 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 3: Now. 53 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,920 Speaker 4: Joel and I are together a lot. We work together. 54 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 4: I'm not talking about coexisting in a home. I'm not 55 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 4: talking about working in a task together. I'm talking about 56 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 4: making investments in the life of people that you love, 57 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 4: making personal time to find out what they like, to 58 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 4: be a part of what they like, to enjoy their gifts, 59 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 4: enjoy their talents. You know, Joel and I, we love 60 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:16,079 Speaker 4: to take walks together. We love to ride our bikes. 61 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 4: We'll go on a date night every now and then. 62 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,679 Speaker 4: Sometimes we just get in the car and we drive nowhere. 63 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 4: But these are times that we have created to just 64 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 4: be together, not to talk about work, not to necessarily 65 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 4: talk about a problem or an issue that we're facing, 66 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 4: but to just be together, maybe not even talk at all, 67 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 4: maybe just connecting in the presence of the moment. You see, 68 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 4: We've got to take the time and set the priorities 69 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 4: and standards in our life to connect with those we love. 70 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 4: You See, if Joel and I just work all the time, 71 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 4: if we're together but we're just existing and working and 72 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 4: under the load of life, we're not going to mature 73 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 4: and nurture a relationship that's going to flourish, that's going 74 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 4: to stay connected. See, We've got to join our hearts 75 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 4: together and build bridges on those things that we connect 76 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 4: with on a personal basis. You see, I know what 77 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 4: to expect from Joel because I've spent time quality time 78 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,839 Speaker 4: connecting with him. He knows what to expect from me. 79 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 4: We know what we think. I know when to leave 80 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,719 Speaker 4: him alone. I know when he wants to sit in 81 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,160 Speaker 4: his big chair and watch Will of Fortune. I know 82 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:40,280 Speaker 4: the things he likes to do to unplug, and those 83 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 4: are at the times I go in with all of 84 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 4: the things that. 85 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 6: I want to talk about. 86 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 4: You see, I've learned him so when I have an 87 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 4: intimate and personal relationship with him, knowing what he likes, 88 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 4: what he dislikes, what I expect of him, what he 89 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 4: expects of me, those boundaries that we like to set 90 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 4: in our life. When I know these things, I can 91 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:05,159 Speaker 4: work with him better. When you've created something, not just 92 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:10,600 Speaker 4: done life together, not just doing life together, but creating 93 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 4: a life together. That's when things will change in your life. See, 94 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 4: I believe it's the same way with our children. We 95 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 4: can't always be on the job raising our children. We've 96 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 4: got to enjoy our children. We need to learn to 97 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:33,159 Speaker 4: communicate with our children. See their gifts and talents, enjoy 98 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 4: their individuality, experience their ideas. 99 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,160 Speaker 6: You see, We've got to get to a personal. 100 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 4: Relationship with our children. We've got to create a connection 101 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 4: so that our connection will grow and flourish through the years. 102 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 4: I enjoy my children as much today as I did 103 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 4: when they were little, when they used to say. 104 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 6: The cutest things and do the craziest things. 105 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,480 Speaker 4: You see. I enjoy them as adults in college right now. 106 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:07,600 Speaker 4: In fact, I learn from them. I enjoy them, I 107 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:11,839 Speaker 4: allow them to have their ideas. Now, I want to 108 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 4: tell you, sometimes time seems so short, and we only 109 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 4: get a certain time with our children. So we fall 110 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:24,119 Speaker 4: into this trap of making these moments a. 111 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 6: Lesson in life, a teaching moment. 112 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 4: You're spending time with your child and you can see 113 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 4: maybe something that could happen or something that you've experienced 114 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 4: and you want to insert this life lesson. I can 115 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,840 Speaker 4: tell you I am so guilty of that. I am 116 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:43,159 Speaker 4: like super guilty of that. But I've learned, and you know, 117 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,840 Speaker 4: my children have helped me learn this that not every 118 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 4: moment has to be a teaching moment. Yes, we want 119 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 4: to teach our children, we want to train our children, 120 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:55,479 Speaker 4: but we also want to enjoy our children. We want 121 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:59,480 Speaker 4: to develop a relationship with them, we want to connect 122 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:04,279 Speaker 4: with them, so we have opportunity in the future. Now 123 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 4: you may have, you know, children that are out of 124 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 4: your house. That's okay, you can still connect with your children. See, 125 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 4: it takes work to form good relationships. They don't just happen. 126 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 4: They must be created. We have to sacrifice our personal 127 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 4: time to have quality time with those we love. It 128 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 4: takes a commitment, It takes an availability. See, if we're 129 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 4: gonna build strong families and strong relationships, we're gonna have 130 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 4: to do our part. You know, sharing meals together is 131 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 4: a great way to spend quality time. Maybe dinner doesn't work, 132 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 4: they're soccer practice. Maybe you've got commitments, But can you 133 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 4: share breakfast? Can you share lunch? Can you have conversation 134 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:53,679 Speaker 4: over a snack? You see study after study has proven 135 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 4: that when you take time to build relationship over a meal, 136 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 4: that your children are less likely to experiment with drugs 137 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 4: and alcohol. That creating this atmosphere over a meal four 138 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 4: to five times a week, or as often as you 139 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 4: can it builds such a bond of trust and so 140 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 4: much self esteem and character that they're less likely to 141 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 4: go off and allow their peers to direct their life 142 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 4: because you've made an investment in their life. I believe 143 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 4: it's our responsibility and it's well worth the time and 144 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 4: effort to enjoy our family as a whole. You know, 145 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,320 Speaker 4: this isn't just a quick fix. This is a long 146 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 4: term investment. See what you plant now, you're gonna read later. 147 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 4: You're going to enjoy the benefits of your family. So 148 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,840 Speaker 4: it's well worth it. And single parents can I tell 149 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 4: you that you're more than enough God, and you are 150 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:54,680 Speaker 4: a majority. 151 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 6: There's nothing that God won't help you with. 152 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 4: As you share with your family, as you make some sacrifices, 153 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 4: even though it's tough, maybe your children are out of 154 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 4: the house. I encourage you to call them up on 155 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 4: the phone, invite them over for dinner, meet them at 156 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 4: a restaurant. Not to tell them what they're doing wrong, 157 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,440 Speaker 4: not to tell them what they can do better, but 158 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 4: just to tell them that you're proud of them, to 159 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 4: tell them how great they are. You see, sometimes we 160 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,960 Speaker 4: want to mold our family members into the shape that 161 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,320 Speaker 4: we want them to be. We want to fix all 162 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,720 Speaker 4: their problems. But I'm telling you right now, we can't 163 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,960 Speaker 4: fix their problems. Only God can. All we can do 164 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 4: is love them, show unconditional love. Spend quality time, and 165 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:44,560 Speaker 4: make personal investments. Just take time to have fun with 166 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 4: your family. Maybe you want to go to the movies, 167 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 4: play some games. Whatever you do, just make sure that 168 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,720 Speaker 4: you're laughing, that you're having fun, that life is not 169 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 4: so serious and such a struggle that you forget the 170 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 4: joys of life, making memories and laughing. You know, laughter 171 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,680 Speaker 4: is a medicine. The Bible talks about a mary heart 172 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 4: is like a medicine. I'm telling you it will fix 173 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 4: a lot of things. I was reading in the Bible 174 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,839 Speaker 4: about Sarah and Abraham, and many of you know the story. 175 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 4: God had made a promise to Abraham and Sarah that 176 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 4: they would have a child, and years and years had 177 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,320 Speaker 4: passed and they'd struggled through life. I'm sure it was weary, 178 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,680 Speaker 4: I'm sure from some of the mistakes they had made. 179 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:31,080 Speaker 4: They were burning down. One day, God showed up at 180 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 4: Abraham's tent and he said, Abraham, this time next year, 181 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 4: you're gonna have this son. And you know what Abraham did. 182 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,960 Speaker 4: Abraham laughed. Now, the Bible doesn't tell us why he laughed, 183 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,640 Speaker 4: but you know why I believe he laughed. I believe 184 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 4: he laughed because he needed a stress reliever. He needed 185 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 4: to just say, oh God, okay. 186 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 6: You know the Bible talks about you know, when you look. 187 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 4: Into your future, you have to be able to laugh. 188 00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 4: You have to be able to trust God with your future. 189 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:04,080 Speaker 4: Laugh those things to come. Laughter helps. When Sarah heard 190 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 4: she was gonna have a child, what she did She 191 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 4: let out a giggle herself. You see that stress reliever. 192 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 6: But the great thing about it is that time next 193 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:14,319 Speaker 6: year they. 194 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 4: Had that sign. They had that sign. 195 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 6: I can't help to believe that laughter is a medicine. 196 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:23,680 Speaker 4: Laughter lightens the load. Listen, Let there be laughter, Let 197 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 4: there be fun. Nothing is that serious that we can't 198 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:32,200 Speaker 4: create this atmosphere of laughter. See, we have to set 199 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,680 Speaker 4: our families up to win. And I believe when we 200 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 4: take the necessary steps to build connections. We're placing value 201 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 4: on our family. And when our family feels valued, when 202 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 4: they feel loved, when you spend quality time, you know 203 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 4: what it does. It feels respect. It builds character within 204 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 4: the family. And again when you face those challenges, you've 205 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 4: got bridges to one another's heart. You've got each other. 206 00:11:56,600 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 4: You're linked. See, we all love to have the people 207 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,680 Speaker 4: in our life give us time and attention. We love 208 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 4: to be taken care of. 209 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 6: It just warms our heart. 210 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,840 Speaker 4: So we have to remember if it's good for us, 211 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:13,079 Speaker 4: it's good for them. Listen, let's create unity in our home. 212 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 4: The Bible says where there is unity, there's a commanded blessing. 213 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,200 Speaker 4: Every one of your family members can walk in blessing. 214 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 4: You've got the power and ability to be the one 215 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 4: who brings in the fund, who is the spice of life. 216 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 4: Nothing is that serious. Create laughter and know that where 217 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 4: there is community, God has commanded the blessing. I want 218 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 4: to pray for your family right now. Lift your hand 219 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,680 Speaker 4: right now, if you represent family, if you have a family, 220 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 4: if you want God to intervene in your family, because see, 221 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 4: I think He sees your hands. And you may not 222 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 4: be connected to some of those family members. You may 223 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 4: be saying, God, I want this connection. Can I have 224 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 4: it that? Well? Can I tell you one of the 225 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 4: greatest ways you can be connected and is in prayer. 226 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 4: You see, there's no distance in prayer. You may not 227 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,840 Speaker 4: be able to be in the presence of that person 228 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,079 Speaker 4: that you want that connection with, But can I tell 229 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 4: you this, God's in their presence. And if you're praying 230 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 4: to God, God will do the work. Because see, if 231 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,199 Speaker 4: we pray and we don't give up, God will honor 232 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:19,200 Speaker 4: our prayer. God works by faith, He works by perseverance. 233 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,560 Speaker 4: So no, when you pray, the moment you pray, the 234 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 4: tide of the battle is beginning to turn. God is 235 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 4: on your side. 236 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,200 Speaker 6: He wants that unity in your home. 237 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:30,840 Speaker 4: I believe all we have to have is a willing heart, 238 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 4: and when we're willing and obedient, we'll eat the good 239 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 4: of the land.
