You know, going forward in twenty seventeen, we 40 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 4: need to make sure that we're making a personal investment 41 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 4: into our family members, that we're building strong bonds, and 42 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 4: we're creating trust and security in our families. It's so 43 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 4: easy in this culture with everything that we have to 44 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 4: do and all the technology that we have to get 45 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 4: things done more quickly. We have to make sure that 46 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 4: we don't just breeze by one another and not make 47 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 4: personal connections. There's so much to do, there's so many 48 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 4: people to see. It's up to us to make the 49 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 4: choices and priorities to connect with those that we love. 50 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:35,640 Speaker 4: You know, Joel and I have to make it a 51 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 4: priority to spend personal quality time together. 52 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 3: Now. 53 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 4: Joel and I are together a lot. We work together. 54 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 4: I'm not talking about coexisting in a home. I'm not 55 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:52,799 Speaker 4: talking about working in a task together. I'm talking about 56 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 4: making investments in the life of people that you love, 57 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 4: making personal time to to find out what they like, 58 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 4: to be a part of what they like, to enjoy 59 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 4: their gifts, enjoy their talents. You know, Joel and I, 60 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,799 Speaker 4: we love to take walks together. We love to ride 61 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 4: our bikes. We'll go on a date night every now 62 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,920 Speaker 4: and then. Sometimes we just get in the car and 63 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 4: we drive nowhere. But these are times that we have 64 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 4: created to just be together, not to talk about work, 65 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 4: not to necessarily talk about a problem or an issue 66 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 4: that we're facing, but to just be together, maybe not 67 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 4: even talk at all, maybe just connecting in the presence 68 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 4: of the moment. You see, We've got to take the 69 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 4: time and set the priorities and standards in our life 70 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 4: to connect with those we love. You See, if Joel 71 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 4: and I just work all the time, if we're together 72 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 4: but we're just existing and working and under the load 73 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 4: of life, we're not gonna sure and nurture a relationship 74 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 4: that's going to flourish, that's going to stay connected. See, 75 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 4: We've got to join our hearts together and build bridges 76 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 4: on those things that we connect with on a personal basis. 77 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 4: You see, I know what to expect from Joel because 78 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 4: I've spent time quality time connecting with him. He knows 79 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,799 Speaker 4: what to expect from me. We know what we think. 80 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 4: I know when to leave him alone. I know when 81 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 4: he wants to sit in his big chair and watch 82 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 4: Will of Fortune. 83 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:31,719 Speaker 5: I know. 84 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 4: The things he likes to do to unplug, and those 85 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 4: are at the times I go in with all of 86 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,239 Speaker 4: the things that I want to talk about. You see, 87 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 4: I've learned him so when I have an intimate and 88 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:50,599 Speaker 4: personal relationship with him, knowing what he likes, what he dislikes, 89 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 4: what I expect of him, what he expects of me, 90 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,360 Speaker 4: those boundaries that we like to set in our life. 91 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 4: When I know these things, I can work with him better. 92 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 4: When you've created something, not just done life together, not 93 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 4: just doing life together, but creating a life together. That's 94 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 4: when things will change in your life. See, I believe 95 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 4: it's the same way with our children. We can't always 96 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 4: be on the job raising our children. We've got to 97 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 4: enjoy our children. We need to learn to communicate with 98 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:31,799 Speaker 4: our children. See their gifts and talents, enjoy their individuality, 99 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:36,159 Speaker 4: experience their ideas. You see, We've got to get to 100 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 4: a personal relationship with our children. We've got to create 101 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:45,920 Speaker 4: a connection so that our connection will grow and flourish 102 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 4: through the years. I enjoy my children as much today 103 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 4: as I did when they were little, when they used 104 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 4: to say the cutest things and do the craziest things. 105 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,799 Speaker 4: You see. I enjoy them as adults in college right now. 106 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 4: In fact, I learn from them. I enjoy them, I 107 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 4: allow them to have their ideas. Now, I want to 108 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:13,280 Speaker 4: tell you, sometimes time seems so short, and we only 109 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,920 Speaker 4: get a certain time with our children. So we fall 110 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:21,839 Speaker 4: into this trap of making these moments a lesson in life, 111 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 4: a teaching moment. You're spending time with your child and 112 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 4: you can see maybe something that could happen or something 113 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,279 Speaker 4: that you've experienced, and you want to insert this life lesson. 114 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 4: I can tell you I am so guilty of that. 115 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,839 Speaker 4: I am like super guilty of that. But I've learned, 116 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 4: and you know, my children have helped me learn this 117 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:46,040 Speaker 4: that not every moment has to be a teaching moment. Yes, 118 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 4: we want to teach our children, we want to train 119 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,480 Speaker 4: our children, but we also want to enjoy our children. 120 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 4: We want to develop a relationship with them, we want 121 00:06:56,279 --> 00:07:00,679 Speaker 4: to connect with them. So we have opportunity in the future. 122 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 4: Now you may have, you know, children that are out 123 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 4: of your house. That's okay, you can still connect with 124 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 4: your children. See, it takes work to form good relationships. 125 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 4: They don't just happen. They must be created. We have 126 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 4: to sacrifice our personal time to have quality time with 127 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 4: those we love. It takes a commitment, It takes an availability. See, 128 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 4: if we're gonna build strong families and strong relationships, we're 129 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 4: gonna have to do our part. You know, sharing meals 130 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 4: together is a great way to spend quality time. Maybe 131 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 4: dinner doesn't work, they're soccer practice. Maybe you've got commitments, 132 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 4: But can you share breakfast? Can you share lunch? Can 133 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 4: you have conversation over a snack? You see, study after 134 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 4: study has proven that when you take time to build 135 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 4: relationship over a meal, that your children are less likely 136 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 4: to experiment with drugs and alcohol. That creating this atmosphere 137 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 4: over a meal four to five times a week, or 138 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 4: as often as you can it builds such a bond 139 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 4: of trust and so much self esteem and character that 140 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 4: they're less likely to go off and allow their peers 141 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 4: to direct their life because you've made an investment in 142 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:26,559 Speaker 4: their life. I believe it's our responsibility and it's well 143 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 4: worth the time and effort to enjoy our family as 144 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,720 Speaker 4: a whole. You know, this isn't just a quick fix. 145 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 4: This is a long term investment. See what you plant now, 146 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:41,840 Speaker 4: you're gonna read later. You're gonna enjoy the benefits of 147 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 4: your family. So it's well worth it. And single parents 148 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 4: can I tell you that you're more than enough God, 149 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 4: and you are a majority. There's nothing that God won't 150 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:58,439 Speaker 4: help you with as you share with your family, as 151 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 4: you make some sacrifice, even though it's tough. Maybe your 152 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 4: children are out of the house. I encourage you to 153 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 4: call them up on the phone, invite them over for dinner, 154 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,720 Speaker 4: meet them at a restaurant, not to tell them what 155 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:12,679 Speaker 4: they're doing. Wrong. Not to tell them what they can 156 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,440 Speaker 4: do better, but just to tell them that you're proud 157 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 4: of them, to tell them how great they are. You see, 158 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 4: sometimes we want to mold our family members into the 159 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 4: shape that we want them to be. We want to 160 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,440 Speaker 4: fix all their problems. But I'm telling you right now, 161 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 4: we can't fix their problems. Only God can. All we 162 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 4: can do is love them, show unconditional love. Spend quality time, 163 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 4: and make personal investments. Just take time to have fun 164 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 4: with your family. Maybe you want to go to the movies, 165 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 4: play some games. Whatever you do, just make sure that 166 00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:53,080 Speaker 4: you're laughing, that you're having fun, that life is not 167 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 4: so serious and such a struggle that you forget the 168 00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 4: joys of life, making memories and laughing. Laughter is a medicine. 169 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 4: The Bible talks about him, Mary heart is like a medicine. 170 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,080 Speaker 4: I'm telling you it will fix a lot of things. 171 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 4: I was reading in the Bible about Sarah and Abraham, 172 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 4: and many of you know the story. God had made 173 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,000 Speaker 4: a promise to Abraham and Sarah that they would have 174 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,440 Speaker 4: a child, and years and years had passed and they'd 175 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 4: struggled through life. I'm sure it was weary. I'm sure 176 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 4: from some of the mistakes they had made. They were 177 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:29,320 Speaker 4: burning down. One day, God showed up at Abraham's tent 178 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 4: and he said, Abraham, this time next year you're gonna 179 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 4: have this son. And you know what Abraham did. Abraham laughed. Now, 180 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 4: the Bible doesn't tell us why he laughed, but you 181 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,440 Speaker 4: know why I believe he laughed. I believe he laughed 182 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 4: because he needed a stretch reliever. He needed to just say, 183 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 4: Oh God, okay. You know the Bible talks about you know, 184 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 4: when you look into your future, you have to be 185 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,320 Speaker 4: able to laugh. You have to be able to trust 186 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 4: God with your future. Laugh at those things to come. 187 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 4: Laughter help. When Sarah heard she was gonna have a child, 188 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 4: what she did She let out a giggle herself. You 189 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 4: see that stress reliever. But the great thing about it 190 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 4: is that time next year they had that sign. They 191 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 4: had that sign. I can't help to believe that laughter 192 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 4: is a medicine. Laughter lightens the load. Listen, Let there 193 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 4: be laughter, Let there be fun. Nothing is that serious 194 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 4: that we can't create this atmosphere I've laughter. See, we 195 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 4: have to set our families up to win. And I 196 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 4: believe when we take the necessary steps to build connections. 197 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 4: We're placing value on our family. And when our family 198 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:43,440 Speaker 4: feels valued, when they feel loved, when you spend quality time, 199 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 4: you know what it does. It feels respect, it feels 200 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:50,440 Speaker 4: character within the family. And again, when you face those challenges, 201 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,680 Speaker 4: you've got bridges to one another's heart. You've got each other. 202 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:57,440 Speaker 4: You're linked. See, we all love to have the people 203 00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,320 Speaker 4: in our life give us time and attention, to be 204 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 4: taken care of. It just warms our heart. So we 205 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 4: have to remember, if it's good for us, it's good 206 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 4: for them. Listen, let's create unity in our home. The 207 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 4: Bible says where there is unity, there's a commanded blessing. 208 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,560 Speaker 4: Every one of your family members can walk in blessing. 209 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 4: You've got the power and ability to be the one 210 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,200 Speaker 4: who brings in the fun, who is the spice of life. 211 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:31,640 Speaker 4: Nothing is that serious. Create laughter and know that where 212 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:35,680 Speaker 4: there is community, God has commanded the blessing. I want 213 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 4: to pray for your family right now. Lift your hand 214 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 4: right now, if you represent family, if you have a family, 215 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 4: if you want God to intervene in your family, because see, 216 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 4: I think He sees your hands and you may not 217 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 4: be connected to some of those family members you may 218 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 4: be saying, God, I want this connection. Can I have 219 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:52,960 Speaker 4: it that? Well? Can I tell you one of the 220 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 4: greatest ways you can be connected and is in prayer. 221 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,440 Speaker 4: You see, there's no distance in prayer. You may not 222 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 4: be able to be in the presence of that person 223 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,480 Speaker 4: that you want that connection with, But can I tell 224 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 4: you this, God's in their presence. And if you're praying 225 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 4: to God, God will do the work. Because see, if 226 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 4: we pray and we don't give up, God will honor 227 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 4: our prayer. God works by faith, He works by perseverance. 228 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,960 Speaker 4: So no, when you pray, the moment you pray, the 229 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 4: tide of the battle is beginning to turn. God is 230 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 4: on your side. He wants that unity in your home. 231 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,200 Speaker 4: I believe all we have to have is a willing heart, 232 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 4: and when we're willing and obedient, we'll eat the good 233 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 4: of the land.
