Let your family members make mistakes!

Don't sweat the small stuff.
Let your spouse make decisions and even mistakes.
Let them miss an exit off the expressway or pick a restaurant with a long waiting line,
let them verbalize 'wild' ideas without shooting them down!
Sometimes we can serve another by our silence.
Lord free us to serve each other.
As each partner finds freedom and motivation to serve each other, intimacy follows.
Caring for another during life's endless demands is what a servants heart is all about.
Serving another person is most often on the daily considerations and not necessarily the big things. -Intimate moments.

We are all too busy trying to prove our worth,
Prove that we don;t have to serve others.
Whereas God frees us to be able to give freely and not feel as though we are 'less than' because we did the 'least thing' for our brother.
"I lay my life down willingly."

We need to learn to deal with our loved ones failures the same way God treats us when we mess up.
The reality is we often learn by failure.
Alot of parents set themselves up as 'the last word'.
There are alot  of times you may think about a situation.
When you go pray about it , often times your mind may have changed!
your children can see us relying on God's wisdom rather than our own.
We paint the best picture of adulthood:  independence of parents and dependence on God. - A Gentle Spirit.

Lord forgive me for my constant bent towards selfishness.
I don't want to miss a thing You have for me.
I am here to serve You and its always an honor to do so.
A central part of our purpose is the 'daily call' of surrender and obedience.
Courageous and called men and women invite God to divinely interrupt our day so that we can participate in His everyday miracles. -Your beautiful Purpose
