Our family loved True Spirit, the story of Jessica Watson’s journey as she circumnavigated the world at 16 years of age. It was compelling, but for less obvious reasons.
Jessica’s story points to the value of family in people’s lives.
While they may know our weaknesses, they should know the good stuff too. And they are the ones we want around us.
Interestingly, the God of the Bible had the best intentions for our home life from the beginning of time.
The original goal was for families to live as a cohesive unit that works together by celebrating the various gifts that each member provides.
Even in the tough realities of this world, family members should strive to encourage each other.
Supporting one another when times are tough, cheering for our family when life is going well, and speaking the truth into the lives of those we love.
