Friday, July 6th, I celebrated my 62nd birthday. I was asked what I wanted to do on my birthday so I told Jane that I wanted the grandkids and her to take me to see Spiderman and go out to eat. We enjoyed the show and the meal was good too, but the best part was spending the evening with family. The only way it could have been better is if the Parzens, Tracie and Jeremy, could have been here with our newest granddaughter Georgia.
I hope it is obvious to the world that family is very important to me. Having loving relationships with children and grandchildren are important and must be one of our most important life priorities. Just as we show our love for our children and grandchildren, as Mother’s and Father’s, we must allow our Savior to work within our lives to provide that witness of love for them through Him. They will see in us His love and look for that “Spirit of Love” for themselves.
We must be strong and faithful in our love for our God. Remember the words of Joshua, “but as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”
Have a blessed day! Tell those in your family that you love them and show them your love is from God through you.
1 Corinthians 13 tells us what love “is.”
