SHOWING KINDNESS TO YOUR FAMILY

May 14, 2023   Pastor Sam Goins


“Lord, I want to live a blameless life, but how I need your help Lord, especially in my own home, where I long to act as I should.”  Psalm 101:2 (LB) 


QUIZ: HOW KIND AM I WITH MY FAMILY?

 When my spouse or sibling or another family member....

  • Gets some details wrong while telling a story, do I

      __ Interrupt them and correct them publicly? 

__ Say nothing and let it go, knowing I’ve done the same?


  • Keeps making the same mistake over and over, do I

__ Become irritated & angry at them?

__ Graciously forgive them and pray for them?


  • Is getting more attention than I think they deserve, do I

             __ Feel resentful & feel the need to bring them down a notch?

             __ Celebrate with them?


  • Says or does something I don’t understand, do I

             __ Assume they have the best motivation for doing it?

__ Question their motivation or think the worst?


  • Am I more polite with ___ strangers OR ___ my own family?


KINDNESS IS LOVE IN ACTION.

“Lord, I want to live a blameless life, but how I need your help Lord, especially in my own home, where I long to act as I should.” Psalm 101:2 (LB)

“Love is patient. Love is kind. Love does not envy. Love is not boastful or proud. Love is not rude. Love is not self-seeking. Love is not irritable or easily angered. Love keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil. Love rejoices with the truth. Love is always supportive. Love always trusts. Love is always hopeful. Love always perseveres and never gives up. Love never fails. It never ends.”     1 Corinthians 13:4-8
