Turn lemons into lemonade - Covid-19 can help your family

Psalm 46:10 “Surrender your anxiety! Be silent and stop your striving and you will see that I am God.
I am the God above all the nations, and I will be exalted throughout the whole earth. -  The passion translation.

I totally understand there are new stresses in our lives with coronavirus and all of the restrictions. However, this isn't the end of the world. Jesus is our strength and in Him I put my trust. We can sit and do nothing during this time and miss one of the greatest opportunities ever. 

Let's do something! One of the greatest immediate impacts you can have is on your own family. 

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services ASPE released the following 9 factors which produce strong healthy families. ( https://aspe.hhs.gov/basic-report/research-successful-families )
  1. communication
  2. encouragement of individuals
  3. expressing appreciation
  4. commitment to family
  5. religious/spiritual orientation
  6. social connectedness
  7. ability to adapt
  8. clear roles
  9. time together

There are plenty of things you can do in your home to strengthen your family. I want to challenge you to do the best your can and then allow God to fill the gaps. This can be one of the greatest times and resets your family has ever experienced. Let's do this together!
