THRIVINGFAMILIES Episode #9: Where's My Family When I Need Them? (VIDEO)
Today we’re talking about how to be present and available to our kids. The idea of presence, meaning physically and emotionally present, is that your kids feel like you want to spend time without expectations.
When I was a kid, my stepdad wasn’t around very much because he was away at sea in the military. When he was around, he was physically present, but his actions communicated something different to me than I think he intended.
Our kids need to know that we love them no matter what – not just when they are ‘performing’ or ‘behaving’.
“God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8, ESV )
In today’s video, as always, I’m sharing tips to help your family thrive:
Fatherwards Episode #9: Where's God When You Need Him?
Have you ever heard people say – “God is all around us, He’s always with us”? I’ve even heard people who aren’t Christian’s say that! But what about when you don’t FEEL His Presence with you? What about those moments when you really NEED Him to be present and you aren’t sure He’s there? What about those moments when you feel completely alone?
I’ve found that in those moments, the generic answer, “God’s got this” or “God’s with you” just aren’t enough to heal my aching soul.
God’s word promises that He is always present with us.
