This week we were reminded of the importance of family and our responsibility to take care of not only their physical welfare, but their spiritual welfare as well. A fitting lesson as we approach Thanksgiving, Advent, and the Christmas season.
In the next few months, we will all be blessed--hopefully feeling blessed--to spend time with family. While it can be a joyful time, we all know that it can often be a time of stress as well with all the preparations that must be made. Just as Paul advised Timothy to give care to those who truly needed help, we need to prioritize what receives our attention, what is most important, what matters.
And why not take Paul's advice about another matter as well...Go ahead an have a little wine!
Thanks again for your hard work. It makes for a great discussion.
If you were unable to make it this week or are simply interested in my notes for this lesson, you are welcome to download them for your own use.
Notes on 1 Timothy 5
Happy Thanksgiving! And don't forget, lunch next time--after our lesson.
See you on December 4.
