![]() ![]() I wanna get back to Ephesians and we're gonna read a little bit of this. When we put our trust in God, He makes us able to do things that are absolutely amazing. We look at people and say, "I just don't know how you do what you do." Well, you know what? They don't either, because God's gotten on board with 'em and is helping them do something that is beyond what anybody could normally do. And you'll have the grace to be there peacefully and still enjoy your life. In other words, if you're raising a special needs child you will have the grace to be in the place where you're at. Verses 7 through 14 talk about all the different gifts that we have and I like to say how God gives each of us grace for our place. ![]() Be willing to apologize even if you have to do it first. "Well, I think I'm right but, you know, I could be wrong." Even that's good. You could occasionally say, "I was wrong." Boy, does that stop a lot of arguments. I'm telling you what, you got a problem, I got an answer. God told me a long time ago, "You're a teacher but you're not Dave's teacher." 'Cause I just got a big teacher in me. Maybe once in a while, occasionally, but not real often. Matter of fact, the least bit of advice you can give your husband the better off you are because he doesn't want it and he's probably not gonna take it. ![]() If you're married, stop giving your husband driving directions. You don't always have to have the last word. I got one brother out here that's in agreement with me. If you wanna get along with people, you're gonna have to do it on purpose. ![]() Peace is not gonna fall on us like ripe fruit falling off a tree. Matthew 5:9, "Blessed (enjoying enviable happiness, spiritually prosperous, with life-joy and satisfaction in God's favor and salvation, regardless of their outward conditions.)" C'mon,He's saying, look, you can be happy no matter what your outward conditions are, if you'll be a "maker and a maintainer of peace." You work for peace. If they would change", don't make me go there. I'm just living in the house with somebody it's hard to get along with. So then I guess I have to assume where there is no unity, there is no anointing, and there is no blessing. There, where there's unity, the anointing abides and there's blessing on that house. Psalm 133, "Where there's unity, there's anointing and blessing." I love psalm 133. Kids need the stability of believing that their parents love each other and that things can be worked out. So guess what, mom and dad? If you're in strife all the time with each other, you can expect.I mean, your kids don't need to think that you're perfect but they don't need to see you fighting and arguing all the time. You know, the Bible says in James that where there is strife, there will be rebellion and every evil work. Kids don't get along, kids don't get along with their parents, parents don't get along with each other.
