There are signs all around us each day. The one you see pictured to the left is one a FamilyLife staff person saw about 2 weeks ago. This could literally be a sign in our neighborhood in Maumelle….or yours where you live: A husband who has “cheated” on his wife and now the family is breaking up as a result. The results will be devastating for all involved!
It is a “sign” of the times we are living in. But it is also a reminder of how urgent the need for marriage/family help is!! There are marriages and families dying in neighborhoods all around you and me every day. Do we really care? Or are we too busy with our own lives to step in and offer help? There is a huge difference between knowing what we should do and actually doing it—being a hearer OR a doer.
Would you take a minute to stop and pray right now. “Lord, please show me how you want me to respond”. Maybe you have a friend, neighbor, co-worker, or family member that you know needs help. Maybe it is you and your marriage and family that is in need right now. Whatever the case, will you respond. Will you reach out and offer help OR reach out and ask for help?
The Lord of the universe stands ready to hear your response. And Shawn and I stand ready to respond as well. Phone or email us and we will get back with you. Our contact info is at the bottom of this page. Ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock and the door will be opened to you. Keep on asking, seeking, and knocking!
