So I have been thinking about that lately - How do I enjoy God in my family? When families work well - they are so enjoyable to be part of. As a father I continue to ask myself the question of what am I doing to make my family an enjoyable place to be? Is our home characterised by joy, fun and laughter? Is it a place where my children and wife want to be?
What activities or spaces are we creating to have us enjoy eachother and enjoy God together? For us getting out into nature is one of those places - familiy holidays, where we get away from the routine and enjoy the wonder of creation together. Playing sport has been another of those - backyard cricket, basketball, tennis are all places where we can enjoy life - recognising who has made it all possible.
Sometimes I think as christian families we can be all a bit serious. Glorifying God in our enjoyment of life as families is an interesting concept to graple with? How is your family doing this?
Do you enjoy reading and praying together - or is it seen as a drag??
Do you enjoy church togehter? Do you talk about it discuss it before, after, during?
Do you enjoy family time together? Do you invite others in to be part of it?
Remember - "Your family displays God to the world" - how is it Glorifying God??
