Flock cameras, government, ISIS, wars, fuel prices, food prices, daily news opinions, social media updates or just videos of an animal doing something funny by AI. (Oh my).

Ball games, recitals, jobs, the latest phone, fashion trends, what to eat or cook, getting your work outs in. (By five).

Work 5 days a week, at home on Saturday and rest and relax on Sunday. (You try)

Monday morning you think, again!?

Anything missing?

Jesus’ time is what’s missing.

 Many people find ways to not read the Bible, pray or attend church because they are busy, someone said something that offended them or they are just too tired and need to relax and watch sports, go to the lake or sleep.

Yet in times of trouble, sickness and death they call on God or blame Him.

1 Timothy 2:5 (NIV) For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus.

That alone should get some Jesus time from us, for he is mediating/interceding  for us to God.

Matthew 19:14 (NIV) Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”

Parents have a responsibility to bring up children right, that includes at lease teaching or getting them to someone who can teach them about Jesus. (this includes single parents and family too).

We have the freedom to accept or reject Jesus in our life and family because He made it that way when he died on the cross for our sins. Problem is, that doesn’t solve it. It’s like having a $100 worth of coupons, going to the store and complaining it cost too much while you left the coupons at home. Salvation is paid for but you have to accept it and share it.

Our pastor once said, “don’t get busy and miss Jesus”, Well, Matthew 6:33 (NIV) says:  But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

Make time for Him in your family, and the other things will fall in place.
