Discipleship:

Family
Forever?
The
school holidays are here! Young children pester their parents for family
outings. They just love to go out with their dads & moms. A
movie, picnic, playground or an overseas holiday - it doesn’t matter. As
long as they get to play and have fun.
Teenagers
are not so excited about family outings. They are more interested to
hang out with their friends. Going out with their parents becomes a
compulsory activity - not what they look forward to ... unless it’s a trip
to Universal Studio or Gold Coast.
Why
the change in attitude? To be honest, nobody knows. It seems a natural
shift when a person grows up. Parents simply surrender and go out less
with their children. Young people think that it’s more cool to go out with
friends than parents.
If
we think carefully, no matter how old a person gets, he or she remains
the par-ent’s child. Family ties does not cease! My daughters will
always call me “Dad”.
Time
spent with family is always BEST! Nothing can replace our parent’s
love for us. Nothing brings joy to mothers and fathers more than when the
children enjoy being with them.
Don’t
surrender to popular thinking. Take time to be together as a family.
Enjoy each other ‘s company. The school holidays are here!
