Family Reflection Video: Making a Choice

Each morning we have a choice – live out the day with Jesus or manage on our own without Him. Today I share a list of suggested Do’s and Don’t’s for Lent that I hope you find helpful when making your own choices throughout the day.

Making the choice for a blessed life with Jesus requires us to take up the cross and follow Him daily. Not simply once, but daily. To follow Him we must follow in the way He has shown us.

Think about this daily choice you make and how it affects your life, your family and our society. How can you inspire and encourage each member of your family to do the same?

Friends, as Lent begins, I pray for you and your family. I pray that your faith and joy become renewed and refreshed during this time. I pray that the clutter of your life will clear and peace will fill your heart.
