We once heard a sermon where Pastor Rick Warren said, “We have done too well at letting people know what we’re against. Let’s let people know what we are for.”
We are for paying attention to what is important. Working together as a team is a value we are practicing in our home. Some days we do this more successfully than others, but it’s always our desire as a family for each of us to “pitch-in” where needed…at least in the long run – after the football games are over, after the video game is finished, and the phone call with a girlfriend has ended!
When one person needs support more than the others, due to an illness or busy schedule, our balance scales get tipped…These times can be trying and the family member who takes on that extra burden can feel, well, burdened. While the one in need of support may feel their expectations are not being met. Since our routines are often interrupted with life happenings, we rely on extending to each other the grace our Father has given to each of us. We then can push ahead paying attention to what is important – teamwork & grace.
