July 24 Phrase
Phases of life differ dramatically in length, intensity, and value. Caring for infants and toddlers has a daily intensity that seems long until you look back.
It’s like a newborn stage that is so short that you almost miss it as rapidly as your kids grow into adulthood. The fun years of helping to wash dishes, wanting to learn something new every day, followed by the outward-focused teenager.
Life’s movements and rhythms seem to flow at different speeds, and as you look back, your perspective changes and you understand why family life is important. God established the family long before the church.
The family is where God’s love is rooted and carried forward, passed on and lived out daily.
