How are you treating your family?

"Is it not my family God has chosen?" 2Sa 23:5 NLTWhether in church or in the workplace, if you're "theperson in charge" here is a question you need toseriously address: If you don't love and take care ofyour own family, why should the people who look toyou for direction think vou will love and take care ofthem? Does that question make you uncomfortable?Does it cause you to react by saying, "My personal lifeis nobody else's business?" Well, that's where you'rewrong! You lead by example. And while the peoplearound you may not feel free to tell you what theythink of you, that doesn't keep them from thinking it orvoicing it to others. In your quest for success, are youtaking your family with you or are you leaving thembehind? Are you giving them the time and attentionthey deserve, or are they routinely subjected to yourfrustrations at the end of a trying day? Are they moreimportant to you than your career, your success, oryour personal happiness? They should be. If you wineverv accolade and award available in the workplaceand fail on the home front, what have you gained?Who will celebrate with you? Psychologist WilliamJames said, "In every person...there is a deep cravingto be appreciated." And the shallow comments offellow workers who praise your talent andaccomplishments won't meet that need. It can only bemet in a home where acceptance, love, andencouragement bonds each family member together.Your home should be your haven-the place whereyou find shelter from the storms of life. What are youdoing to make it like that?Your home should be your haven.Send us Fan MailSupport the showChanging Lives | Building Strong Family | Impacting Our Community For Jesus Christ!
