Family First!

 1Timothy 5:4 “But if a widow has children or grandchildren, these should learn first of all to put their religion into practice by caring for their own family and so repaying their own parents and grandparents, for this is pleasing to God.  Put your religion into practice into practice, for this is pleasing to God!   Faith without works is dead.   We are not saved by our works,  we are saved by faith.  When we do good works it's pleasing to God and pleasing to us!  It’s not easy to look after people.  Everybody feels busy, busy, busy!! When we take the time to be still, have good visits and go a little further than is comfortable, we are being pleasing.  I often forget God is watching, He is with each of us always.    When I forget, my selfishness and not such pure motives, take hold.  When I  remember; He is right here, right now, holding me giving me strength to be His light.  It helps me to let go of my agenda and embrace putting my religion into practice by caring for my own family. This is pleasing to God.   😇 I’m so thankful for my family members that have taken their time and resources to show me the love of God.  

I have a saying, “you can’t go save the world when your own family is broke.”  Think of how wonderful this world could be if each and everyone of us just reached in to our own families.
