Thoughts from My Journey

This is the first time since I have been married that we took a vaction. A short one, but a vacation none the less. We had a great time, got sun burned at 6000 ft elevation. But well worth it. We have never went anywere just to go as a family. It was nice and relaxing. I want to thank those that allowed us to go and just relax and enjoy life. This ment a lot to me and my family. I love this church and the families that are in it. I am sorry I have not been around much to help. That is going to change, soon. Again thank you and hope everyone had a great weekend. God bless.

Not sure what happened, I never recieved an email lettin me know that there was a post on the forum. I am glad that you had a good time. It is very important for all of us to take time to spend time with family. It is also very imprtant to spen time relaxing and recharging. I am glad that you had time ot recharge.

 God Bless.

Hello rx8ss,

Taking the time out and reflecting on one of God’s greatest gifts, (your family) is a true blessing

The phrase “The best gift you can give your children is to love their mother/father” definitely applies. The only relationship prioritized above marriage should be the one we have with God. When He is the center of a marriage, He will automatically become the center of a family. God brought Adam and Eve together as the first husband and wife. He had formed Eve from Adam's rib, which shows us how men and women are to leave their father and mother and be joined together forever, inseparably. The stronger the marriage unit, the stronger the whole family will be.

God places a very high value on family and taking care of and supporting each other. Men should manage their family well and raise children who respect them (1 Timothy 3:4). A woman should teach others what is good, carry herself modestly and submissively, and train younger women how to love their husbands and children (Titus 2:3-5).
