Gifts

The Christmas shopping season has officially started. Moms and dads will be out searching for the one toy that every child must have. Husbands and wives are searching for that special gift that will tell their loved one how much they mean to them. (Well, at least the wives are, husbands will wait till Christmas Eve.)

Let me encourage you to give the gifts that have genuine meaning to them. Commit to giving your children undivided attention each evening. It will pay you dividend in the future and you will be one proud parent whether they are an honor student or not.

Begin to search for ways to enhance your marriage. We have too many attempting to find ways to get out of a relationship and too few giving real effort to remain in them. Divorce is tough on kids, so begin now making your marriage the best it can be.

Also, give yourself and your family a faith in God. I’m not talking about a mere belief, but a living and vibrant faith. One that will sustain you through all of the difficulties of life and give meaning to your existence.

Come see us Sunday.
