This month we are approaching Easter Sunday which we often call Resurrection Sunday, for it is a remembrance of that first Easter Sunday on which Jesus Christ our Lord rose from the grave. While it is good and right for us to celebrate Easter each year, perhaps we also need reminding that every Sunday is a resurrection Sunday. Indeed, each Sunday that we gather is a continued celebration of the Risen King and of our expectation of His return to rule and to reign forevermore.
Traditions are a powerful force in the life of a family. They are a needed element as you build the culture and texture of your family by forming and reinforcing what you want your family to believe, do, and be. Their power is in their ability to bring identity, stability, memories, and teach shared values. Learn more about the importance of family traditions in todays #FamilyFriday.
So many times, our family life becomes consumed by our kids and the activities surrounding our kids. We often get lost in the fray of these things because of a good desire to give our kids great lives, memorable experiences, and meaningful gifts. But one of the sure fire ways to destroy our families is to make it all about our kids. Join me today on our #FamilyFriday discussion as we learn that one of the greatest gifts we can give to our kids is a strong and loving marriage to our spouse.
You’re looking at Facebook (or Instagram or Twitter) and all of a sudden you think, “Why isn’t my life like that? Why is their life so perfect?

Ingratitude is the default state of the human heart. So we must fight for gratitude, and we must cultivate it with great care and effort. Find out how you can cultivate gratitude in your family in this #FamilyFriday video.
Saying “No” is hard for us because we live in a “Yes” culture. But our kids need us to say “No” because “No” is ultimately a loving word.
