We all serve our families….but are we doing it in a joyful way or are we building resentment and looking to see if our husbands are doing as much as we are or even just grumble when we do laundry.
But when we don’t serve our families with joy….it just brings more non-joy feelings to our life.
Remember last week when we talked about Joy being a fruit of the spirit. When we follow the instructions for life in the bible, it moves us closer to experiencing these fruits including joy.
Again, it’s not that we are not serving our family. We are taking care of the kids, cleaning the house, prepping meals, shopping, taking care of doctor appointments, medications, school involvement and so much more. The issue isn’t doing it...it’s the spirit in which we do that can be an issue.
I know for me, I want to serve my family with joy but our intentions and reality are not always the same. I have been praying about this for a bit of time and the one thing that God showed me was this.
There are three things that keep me from experiencing joy in serving my family.
Can you relate to these? Let’s talk about some solutions.
