Begin Today -- Value Your Family

You may not have been raised in a home where family members treated each other with kindness and respect. Instead your parents may have yelled at you, criticized you and maybe, even abused you. Here’s some good news: God’s grace allows you  to create a different type of family for the rest of your life. Regardless of the way that you were raised, mom and dad, you can choose to start a new tradition, a new legacy of life. Beginning today – you can choose to treat everyone in your home with decency and with kindness. Yelling, Swearing, and hitting does not have to be the norm. These behaviors are confusing and will create anxiety and insecurity in children. If you grew up in a home where drama and chaos were a part of your life, you know what I mean. You do not have to allow this behavior to be a part of your own home now. Respect for your family and respect from your family is important. Valuing each person in the family can be done by making eye contact, speaking kindly, telling each other what you appreciate and love about them. These are ways to bless your family. And a way of establishing a new way of acting in your home. Try it. You’ll be blessed. And your kids will learn how to act respectfully from you.
