Balancing Your Christian
Family Life Today
Everyone has a family whether you are
single or married
, so I thought writing about family life today is a pretty common yet, important topic for women. Every woman has at least one role in their family whether you are a mom, sister, aunt, or wife, you are important and what you do affects everyone in your family. We have different roles and expectations depending on our situations, but one thing that doesn't change is how we were created. God created us differently from men, I'm sure you can all agree. There is a reason why we tend to be more nurturing, chatty, and generally have the ability to multi-task. Whatever your story is, the beautiful qualities God has given us are needed in all these situations to bring balance, peace, and order in our family life today.
In this generation it is not uncommon
that both parents work outside the home and some may even work
more than one job, while their children are in school or in
daycare. This lifestyle can make it more challenging to spend
a lot of family time together especially through the weekdays.
This can lead to stress or guilt to many women that they do
not spend enough time with their families. I would like to
encourage you to view your situation differently, look at the
time you do have as a blessing and focus on quality time not
the quantity. If you are a woman who can stay home with your
children consider yourself very blessed. This doesn't mean its
any easier, staying home brings new challenges such as
balancing your time with your children, trust me I'm one of
them. We need to remind ourselves that God is in control and
through Him we can have a more peaceful balanced family life.
Family life today doesn't just consist
of family time there are many other aspects to consider. We
can add to our family life by the way we prepare and care for
our home. Family life doesn't just consist of staying at home
with your family and taking care of the home, being out in the
community is a big area that sometimes gets missed through
busy lifestyles
. Going to church is another important aspect of a healthy family life as well as a family devotional time.
A word of encouragement, if you find life is becoming too busy ask God to show you how to prioritise the activities in your life, sometimes it's just a matter of saying no to some things and yes to family!
