Who Are All These People In My House?

Intro

We see memes now that go something like this, "Ever since they stopped showing sports on TV I've noticed this strange woman in my living room. She is kind of nice." A week into the lock down has brought a big change to the lives of most of us. Hopefully, it has been a good time for most of us but even in the best of times we can start to get on each others nerves.

Something to Think ABout

Take a moment to think about how committed you are to giving maximum effort to your family. Has your spouse become simply a co-worker, helping you take care of the kids? Are you so preoccupied with supplying food, clothing, and shelter for your kids that you are neglecting the relationship that meets their emotional needs?

We have been living an isolated lifestyle long before the coronavirus. But this stay-at-home order may have brought to light some things about your family life that have been long swept under the rug of busyness and you failed to notice. Let's make the commitment to be the spouses and parents that God wants us to be.
