April 9: Love does no wrong to a neighbor. Love, therefore, is the fulfillment of the law. Romans 12:10

April 16: Pursue peace with everyone.  Hebrews 12:14

 

Family Stop:  We may not, as a family, have peace with everyone we know.  There may be some people with whom we disagree.  We cannot control other people's feelings or actions, but our goal as a family is have peace with everyone. We will never do anything to keep a disagreement going.  

 

April 17: Whatever you do, do everything for God's glory. 1 Corinthians 10:31

April 23: "Peace I leave with you.  My peace I give to you.  I do not give to you as the world gives. Your heart must not be troubled or fearful."  John 14:27

 

FAMILY STOP:  As a family, we are called to focus on unseen things.  This includes our reward in heaven and eternity,  but it also means other things that cannot be seen.  Things like love and forgiveness.  We should pursue those things that can only be seen in our hearts and only by God.

 

April 24: For the Lord is good, and His love is eternal; His faithfulness endures through all generations.  - Psalm 100:5

April 25: We do not focus on what is seen, but on what is unseen; for what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.  2 Corinthians 4:18

April 30: No one has ever seen God.  The One and Only Son - the One who is at the Father's side - He has revealed Him.  John 1:18

 

FAMILY STOP:  As a family we should never forget that we are the only Jesus some people will ever see. We are the light of the world.  Does our family - in the way we live, and speak and live our lives - reflect the image of Jesus to the world around us? Do we dare ask our neighbors what they see in our family?
