I was telling an acquaintance yesterday about Trish and me meeting at a wedding; she was maid of honor, I was best man. This acquaintance, who has had a couple of divorces, asked if I knew when I first saw Trish if I knew she was the one. I shared that on that first encounter, it was so busy that I got to talk to Trish very little. However, the night of our first date, several months later, I knew she was the girl I would marry. It took some convincing but Trish finally gave in.
My acquaintance said that it had restored her faith in humanity. I told this acquaintance that if your faith is in humanity, it is misplaced; we have to have our faith in JESUS. He will direct us and lead us to where we need to be and to what we need to do. He will direct us to whom we need to be with and to whom we don't. And, if we will allow Him to do that, we will find that we can experience a little of Heaven right here on earth through the relationship we have with our spouse and our children. GOD really wants us to love each other and to take care of our families.
Today's word is the last verse in the Old Testament. Malachi 4:6, NLT, reads, "His preaching will turn the hearts of fathers to their children, and the hearts of children to their fathers. Otherwise I will come and strike the land with a curse."
GOD cares so much about us loving our families. He wants us to show our spouse and our children His love through us. We can rest assured that if we truly love our families the way GOD desires us to that He will pour out blessing upon blessing. Besides, for me, loving Trish and the kids is as easy as breathing.
Be Blessed,
