As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. Joshua 24:15
Families today are often busy and pulled in many different directions, but one thing that keeps a home strong is time spent together with the Lord. Prayer doesn’t have to be long—just a few moments each day can bring peace, unity, and encouragement.
When a family prays together, children learn faith by example, hearts stay softer toward one another, and challenges are faced as a team. A home centered on God becomes a place of love, support, and strength.
Strong families are not perfect families—they are families who choose to stay connected and serve the Lord together. Even simple times of prayer at the table or before bed can build lasting bonds that carry through generations.
Today, if God has blessed you with children, stop and thank Him for each one He has given you.
Pray for your children. If they are babies or very young, pray they will come to know Jesus as their Savior and they will follow Him all the lives.
If your children are now adults, they need your prayers. Trials of life come on everyone and they need to know you are praying for them.
You may have a child who has gone astray. Never stop praying for him or her. God answers prayer and loves that child even more than you do.
If you have lost child who has died. Thank God for the time you had with him or her. Ask God to comfort you in your loss.
Maybe you have never had children and there is a void in your life. Look around. There are children that are starving for love and attention. It may be a neighbor or someone in your church. Volunteer to teach a children’s class.
Thank you, Lord, for the children in my life. Please bless each one today with whatever need they have. In Jesus precious name.
Family is so important. Maybe your family is small. Or you could have a huge family. Sometimes families have differences that cause separation. other families are loving and close. Our families are special to each of us.
I have good news. We have a much more important family. That is the Family of God. We are not born into that family. We must choose to become a member. How? Trust Jesus as your Savior. This family is eternal.
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: John 1:12
You may be from a very large family or a small one, but being part of a family is a great blessing.
Family sticks together through good times and bad. Someone is there to be with you to join in laughter or tears. Siblings have a special bond that should last for a lifetime.
Maybe you are an only child or have had what seems to be an unrepairable disagreement with a family member.
Good news! If you have accepted Jesus as your Savior, you are in the family of God and you have a friend that is closer than a brother. Jesus is with you always and you can go to Him with your joys and sorrows.
Proverbs 18:24 A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
If you are physically going to church today or watching a service virtually one thing to remember, we worship our Heavenly Father.
It is wonderful to be in the family of God. Today, pray especially for your Pastor and the leaders of your church. Pray for the Holy Spirit to fill them to preach the truth. People need to be saved and become part of the family of God.
1 John 3:1-2 – Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
Carolyn Curtis, cofounder of SOS Events Ministry, visiting Ireland family missionaries, Emily (left) holding baby Noah and John (right) holding Micah, Josiah, (left front) and Abigail sitting next to Great Grandma Carolyn. Other family members from USA, Beka, Shirley and Stephen. What a great blessing to have a wonderful Christian family who serve the Lord in different parts of the world.
I Thessalonians 1:2 We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers;
Sunday, a day to worship, spend with family and fellowship. Take time today to be a little “old Fashioned” and don’t go shopping or run around doing errands. Spend time with family and enjoy one another after church today.
Today take a moment to me thankful for your family. You may have a small family or a very large family. Spouse, children, grandchildren and others. This poem is what family is…sharing joys and sorrows, good times and bad. Sticking together even if we don’t agree. Earthly family is important in our lives and one of our greatest blessings.
Christians have another family. The family of God. We should have the same love and care for our Christian brothers and sisters as we do our biological family. God expects nothing less from each of us.
John 15:12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
This note is from Carolyn Curtis’ great granddaughter, 8 years old. What a blessing to have generations of Godly children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. To know that the times of family gatherings will not end here on earth, but will be together in Heaven for eternity. The key is to have 2 Birthdays. Physical and Spiritual.
John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Sunday, a day to worship, spend with family and fellowship. Take time today to be a little “old Fashioned” and don’t go shopping or run around doing errands. Spend time with family and enjoy one another after church today.
