Family Reflection Video: Give what is God’s to God

Do you know your rights as a child of God?

Give to God what is God’s, this includes all of us. As we were made in God’s image and likeness, we are called to be great examples of His Love. In choosing to follow God, we will outlast the sun the moon and all the stars.

Imagine having your guardian angels from heaven accompanying you and chanting, “Make way for the image of the living God, make way for the image of the living God.” It’s quite a sight! Knowing that all of God’s children have angels singing their glory, we must honor and graciously acknowledge God’s image and likeness in every person we encounter.

Be kind and respectful, love and cherish everyone in your family and all the people you meet. God bless.
