Mary pondered on the wonders God was performing in and around her and we should do the same, especially when it comes to our family. Perhaps the “perfect” family is not a final state but rather a way of living life, loving each other, and worshipping God in the best way we can manage! With that in mind, here’s your REAL Conversation for the week:
How can our family work together with each other and with God?
Answer this question with your family. Use it as a conversation starter to think about the coming year. While you’re doing this, remember what we read in the first letter of Timothy: If anyone does not provide for their relatives, and especially for members of their household, they have denied the faith and are worse than an unbeliever. ~1 Timothy 5:8
We are called to take care of each other – especially those in our immediate family!
