Your Family's Finest Year

The New Year is a time to reflect... to really spend a little time thinking about your family's values. What are your goals for your family for this new year? Is your home a place of peace? Of love? And happiness? Or do the feelings of conflict, tension and irritation dominate your family? Do you really enjoy your family? Or is being at home a downer and a place of worry and pain? This year, resolve to make your home a place that is positive, healthy and strong. What destructive habits do you need to get rid of? Take some time and pray about your decision to change your family's behavior and attitudes. Ask God to show you what things need to change. Pray for wisdom to know what to do. As a family counselor, I say this frequently, "the smartest people I know, know how to ask for help when they need it". If your family is in trouble, seek the resources of parenting classes, the guidance of your minister, or talk with a family counselor. Don't go another week, continuing the painful and harmful behaviors that are destroying your family's peace and joy. Make it a priority this year to connect with your family and to be available for them, and to speak words of love and encouragement. This year, resolve to have a healthy family. Seek God's guidance, and seek wise counsel from godly people -- right now. This can be your family's finest year.
