Wisdom is Vindicated by Her Works: Family Reflection Video

This generation has to decide one way or the other.

With all the activities families get caught up in, advent season is a good time to pause and decide. Decide what is really important to the family, what will bring them closer together and closer to God.

There are many great activities, but if everything is equally important, then nothing is important. If there is no time to relax as a family, or even pray as a family, we need to find time among the many distractions.

What’s your family’s top priority? Have you connected with your family or loved ones recently? How can you make those closest to you a top priority?

I pray we remember to cherish those close to us today and that we find the time to pray together as a family.
