Poem Title:
Poem
Family is Togetherness - Where there is hardship, struggle and heartbreak - There is Family Where there is sorrow, tears and disappointment - There is Family Where there is encouragement, love and laughter - There is family We have seen tables turned, fingers crossed, roads blocked hurdles hopped, mountains climbed, we have been up, down all around, even at times knocked to the ground At some point or another, we have been there for each other We have had jailhouse visits and hospital visits We have planned funerals, parties, marriages graduations, birthdays, holidays and more We have been through it all, yet together we stand, divided we fall And although we may not do everything right as long as we have each other, everything will be alright Family is Spiritual - Family members are to look after and care for one another When God saves an individual, His desire is for the family to be saved Clearly God's desire isn't just to save an isolated individual, but entire households. In 1st Corinthians 7 vs 14 shows how the unbelieving spouse is sanctified through the believing spouse The most important family connection is spiritual, not just physical Joshua 24 vs 15 says... but as for me and my house (meaning family) We will serve the Lord Families are stronger when considering the Lord before making decisions There is power in prayer - Did you pray for your family today? Family is Forgiveness - There are times we may be a lil sassy and rude And times we may have our moods and attitudes There are times we may be distant and apart But a family such as ours will always be connected in the heart To strengthen our family, we have to: Acknowledge, accept and appreciate Acknowledge - when we are wrong Accept - apologies Appreciate - Each moment and each other When we are mindful of the words spoken, a family bond will never be broken Let's speak more words to build up, not tear down Let's learn to put our differences aside and not let anger linger (Please keep in mind, DO NOT BE MAD NOT EVERY family member will be there for EVERY situation you will have God will place those you will need to get you through each experience) The conduct of family members reflect upon family honor and the way the family perceives itself and is perceived by others Our behavior sets the standards for the next generation In all you say and do, just know, the little ones are watching you And yes, at times we may not have it all together But together, we have it all We are Family!
