Are you loving 60 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 6: the gifts that God has giving you? You See, children, 61 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 6: the Bible says that they're a heritage, They're a gift 62 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 6: from God. See, we're not just supposed to work for them. 63 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 6: We're supposed to enjoy them. We're supposed to celebrate with them. 64 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 6: Our spouses, they are a gift from God. They are 65 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 6: someone to help us grow and learn and live life together. 66 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 6: Are we putting them on our love list? Every single day? 67 00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 6: I've been married to Joel for thirty years, and I 68 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 6: got to tell tell you this. I still have to 69 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 6: remind myself is he on my love list? 70 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 5: Because you know it's fine. 71 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 6: At first, you can get all excited, you have a 72 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 6: little goosebumps, everything is so wonderful. But as years go by, 73 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 6: you have to continue to stir up the love and 74 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:24,159 Speaker 6: the excitement. I have to remind myself I cannot quit 75 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:30,719 Speaker 6: being Joel's biggest cheerleader. I can't quit telling him how 76 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 6: proud I am of him, how. 77 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 5: Excited I am that I'm his wife. 78 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 6: I can't quit being my very best so that I'll 79 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 6: reflect the very best on him. You see, one of 80 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,040 Speaker 6: the greatest ways to love each other is to live 81 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 6: at our very best, to set the tone for the 82 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 6: life we want to live. You see, you set the 83 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 6: tone and the atmosphere for your life. 84 00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 7: You're not a thermometer. 85 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:06,919 Speaker 6: Thermometer measures the temperature, but a thermostat sets the temperature. 86 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 7: It sets the tone. 87 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 6: And God has empowered every one of us through his love, 88 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 6: his grace, his mercy, to set the tone and the 89 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 6: temperature for our life and for the lives of other 90 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 6: it says in Hebrews ten twenty four let us consider 91 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:30,040 Speaker 6: how we may spur one another on towards love and 92 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:34,280 Speaker 6: good deeds. You see, if you can spur someone on 93 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 6: in God's love, listen, those good deeds will follow. If 94 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:43,600 Speaker 6: you can strengthen them in God's love, then their life 95 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 6: will become better. You see, it was the love that 96 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 6: raised Jesus from the dead. Love is powerful. Love covers all. 97 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:57,479 Speaker 6: Love is the end all be all. When you don't 98 00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:01,719 Speaker 6: know what to do, God is saying them anyway, just 99 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 6: love them anyway, because it's a powerful force. He first 100 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:10,480 Speaker 6: loved us, so we can love others. So I think 101 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 6: about that scripture and I think to myself, how can 102 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 6: I spur my family on? I have to consider it. 103 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 6: That means I have to meditate on it. I have 104 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 6: to think about it. I can't do it the same 105 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 6: way all the time. I don't put it on an autopilot. 106 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 6: I consider, I meditate, I dwell what works best. 107 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 7: In this situation. 108 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 6: You know, when I think about how to spur or 109 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:41,160 Speaker 6: cheer someone on, I think about the attitude. 110 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 5: Of a cheerleader. 111 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 6: Okay, I was never a cheerleader in high school, although 112 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,039 Speaker 6: I wish I would have. I guess I missed my 113 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 6: calling but I can be a cheerleader right here to 114 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 6: my family. I can share them on. 115 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,719 Speaker 5: And it's not so much about raw raw raw. It's 116 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,039 Speaker 5: about an attitude. 117 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,480 Speaker 6: You think about being at the high school game and 118 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 6: there's the cheerleader on the sidelines. What's the attitude of 119 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 6: those cheerleaders. The attitude is a winning attitude. You see 120 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 6: when the scoreboard is in their favor, palm palms are 121 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 6: up and they are cheering their team on. When the 122 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 6: scoreboard is down and their team is fumbling the ball 123 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 6: and they don't seem to be able to get it together, 124 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 6: their tone never changes. They have a winning tone, just 125 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 6: a different chant. That's when you'll hear defense, defense, but 126 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 6: their tone is still pointing the team towards winning. 127 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 5: It's saying, hey, we can score, let's keep our spirits high. 128 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 6: I have never ever seen the scoreboard down on the 129 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 6: team that the cheerleaders we're rooting for. Man, the guys 130 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 6: are fumbling the ball. It doesn't look good. The cheerleader 131 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 6: puts your palm palms down, shakes her head, says, I'm 132 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 6: out of here. I've never seen it. That's not the 133 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 6: attitude of a cheerleader. A cheerleader knows how to keep 134 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 6: the spirits up, but may chant a little different when 135 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 6: need be, but always points their team to the winning goal. 136 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 6: And that's what I want us to think about. What 137 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 6: is your attitude towards those difficult situations when maybe your husband, 138 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 6: your wife, your children, they don't seem to be able 139 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:42,080 Speaker 6: to get it together. 140 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,199 Speaker 7: Man, they keep fumbling the ball? What's going on? 141 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 5: What do you do? 142 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 7: What do you do when they do score? 143 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 6: Do you take time to celebrate, to shout, to tell 144 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 6: them how proud you are of them? You see, you 145 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,840 Speaker 6: got to keep this attitude in the good times and 146 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 6: in the bad times. It's called consistency. And if we're 147 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 6: gonna set the tone for our family and we're gonna. 148 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 5: Create the life that we want to live with our family. 149 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 6: We're gonna have to be consistent. We're gonna have to 150 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 6: keep the tone of a winner. Listen, the last thing 151 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 6: I want to hear when I'm fumbling the ball is 152 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 6: what you do that for. 153 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 7: Loser. 154 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 6: I know that I'm fumbling the ball. I know that 155 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 6: I haven't done well. 156 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:35,680 Speaker 7: I'm trying. 157 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 6: I need someone to support me, to prop me up, 158 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:40,319 Speaker 6: to direct me. 159 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 5: Towards the goal. I need to know that I can score. 160 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 6: I don't need to be told that I'm fumbling the ball. 161 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 5: I need someone there for me. 162 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,840 Speaker 6: It's interesting because the Bible says give to other people 163 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 6: what you want. 164 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,680 Speaker 5: That's a good way to keep it all into. 165 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 6: Perspective when you're facing difficulties, when you're facing difficult situations 166 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,559 Speaker 6: with family members. And I know there are some family 167 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 6: members that seem to never be able to get it right. 168 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 6: But can I tell you if you get it wrong, 169 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:12,560 Speaker 6: it's not going to change a thing. 170 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 5: If you decide to tell them how bad they are, that's. 171 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 7: Not going to change a thing. But if you'll get 172 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 7: this tone, this winning tone, right, you have a better 173 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 7: chance of propping them up and helping them. 174 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 6: You see, it's our response. Are we walking in a 175 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 6: place of peace? Where do we get that peace? We 176 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 6: get it from God. You know what I said before, 177 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 6: We get everything from God. We can only live this 178 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 6: life in victory by getting it from God. 179 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 5: You see, He's giving it to us so. 180 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 7: That we can give it to others. 181 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 6: I realized when my daughter was about eight years old 182 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 6: how important my response was. 183 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,200 Speaker 7: That it's set the tone for what would go on. 184 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 6: Joel, I think it was his maybe his first book 185 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 6: or second book, and we were as a family traveling 186 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,440 Speaker 6: all over the country. The publisher had set all of 187 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 6: these books signings up in different dates, and so they 188 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 6: had chartered us a little plane, and we were going 189 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 6: all over the country. Sometimes we would be in three 190 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 6: different states in one day, and so we have always 191 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,320 Speaker 6: done this ministry as a family. So we had I 192 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,319 Speaker 6: had my little eight year old girl in my little 193 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 6: my probably about eleven year old son, and so we'd 194 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 6: probably go into our second state. And it was the 195 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:31,839 Speaker 6: middle of the day and we were going in this 196 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 6: little plane and my eight year old daughter, Alexander, was 197 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 6: sitting across from me, and we were just kind of 198 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 6: hanging chilling a little bit, when all of a sudden, 199 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:45,719 Speaker 6: the oxygen masks falls from the ceiling and I just panicked. 200 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 5: Big old eyes, huge gasp. I was like, we're dead. 201 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 6: My little eight year old girl didn't know what was 202 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 6: going on, but the tone setter was panicking. The mom 203 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 6: and the munch was freaking out, so she immediately began 204 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 6: to cry, just ball. All of a sudden she saw 205 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 6: me and it just let go of an emotion of 206 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 6: this is a bad situation, and I realized, Wow, I 207 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 6: just set the tone for her. 208 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 7: She was looking at me, and I set the. 209 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:31,440 Speaker 6: Tone for panic, for fear, for difficulty, for doubt, for unbelief. 210 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 6: If I would have sat there and kept my cool 211 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 6: and thought, you know what, if I scream, it's not 212 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 6: gonna keep this plane in the air, If I freak out, 213 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 6: it's not gonna change anything. If I could have just 214 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 6: realized that my response made all the difference in the world. Now, 215 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,440 Speaker 6: Needless to say, the pilot came up and said, sorry, 216 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 6: a little bit of a malfunction as he crammed the 217 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,440 Speaker 6: thing back up in the ceiling, thanked God in heaven. 218 00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 5: I was like, oh, but it showed me my. 219 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:02,640 Speaker 7: Response is powerful. 220 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 6: And I tell that little story to say, your response 221 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 6: is powerful whether your child is eight years old, eighteen 222 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 6: years old, or thirty eight years old. Your response, you 223 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 6: set the tone. It's powerful. When I call my mom 224 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 6: on the phone to this day, she literally has the 225 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 6: power to set the tone for me, whether I like 226 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 6: it or not. There's a powerful thing because it's called 227 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 6: the anointing of being a parent. It's just the way 228 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,720 Speaker 6: God made it. So I want to remind you today 229 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:45,319 Speaker 6: and myself, are we going to celebrate in the good times, 230 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 6: and are we going to keep that winning spirit in 231 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:52,839 Speaker 6: the difficult times. See, it's all about our tone, it's 232 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,959 Speaker 6: all about the temperature. It's all about the winning spirit. 233 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,719 Speaker 6: And I believe if we will do that and we 234 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 6: get that from God, we're going to set the tone 235 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,319 Speaker 6: and have a great life, not only for ourselves but 236 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,439 Speaker 6: for our families.
