Finding Joy and Excitement in Humbling Ourselves to God: Family Reflection Video

Finding Joy and Excitement in Humbling Ourselves to God: Family Reflection Video

Love thy Neighbor  |  Celebrating family life

Being of two minds can put us on the wrong track in life.

By humbly praying and reflecting on what God is calling us to do with our lives, bowing our heads and saying, “Thy will be done,” we draw strength on how to live.

While any of us can fall into following our own will, we’re free and able to live a more joy-filled life if we submit our lives to God. This begins in your home with your family and branching out to all those you meet along the way! How can you help your family live for God and not themselves?

If we dare to draw close to Him and do His Will, God will grant us great projects and people to work with in the vineyard. God bless you and your family!
