Joyful Parents

Longing each family is experiencing harmony, happiness and joy. But unfortunately, many Christian families who do not experience this. Precisely the situation inside is the opposite of what is expected. Which is in many households is an argument, there is no sense of peace and not feel joy. And have the joy is the key to gain strength for each family.

Joy (joy) is an important element that should be owned in the family. The joy is contagious, so if parents are able to create an atmosphere of joy, the family atmosphere will be filled by joy. Children will see and imitate what their parents do. When their parents easily sulk in the face of problems in life, then children will follow in the footsteps of his parents. But if parents provide role models that they continue to rejoice even more trouble after another, then this will be transmitted to the children so that the spirit of joy that would their own.

Why should we rejoice? That's why the Lord's command in Philippians 4:4, rejoice always. If we fully believe in God, then we will dare to face the struggle to live without fear, worries that would eliminate the joy. Hold firmly the Word of God, then we will increasingly believe that the IA had a 1001 solution to the problem of our family.

Be the agent of joy! That's what we often teach our children, Rachel and Jacob. Wherever course we are, we always try to create an atmosphere of joy, we must try to always be grateful even for the tests in life. In the family altar, we pray for our struggle so that kids know and understand. Then after praying, we smiled and said, "Well ... we just wait the hands of God to help us." We teach them to believe in God, because He is God who cares, God is protecting. When we do this, then embedded in their lives that the problem may come but their parents still rejoice because they believe in God, so it is transferred on both. When they deal with small problems, they remain grateful and rejoice.

Family harmony can be owned by each person. Start with a personal full of a joyful person. Husband and wife are full of joy will mentransferkan the matter to other family members, then slowly persungutan gray clouds in the household will be eliminated by the sunshine of joy.
