​30 Weeks to Oneness
Thank you to everyone for your support of our children and program. As we prepare to move into the second half of the year. I have a deep burden for family. Celebrated in June each year, National Reunification Month recognizes the people and efforts around the country that help families to stay together. The trauma that family separation causes to children and parents is immeasurable and often permanent. Ergo, I’ve been compelled to encourage us over the next 30 weeks which will take us to the end of the year. This 30 week planner allows us to concentrate on one item each week of the month to increase stewardship of our families’ love and our responsibility to them. By applying truths over the weeks and months we hope to create a pattern in our lives that will earn us deeper respect for our children and cultivate deeper levels for love of our spouse or significant other.

Week 2. Admonition

6/25/2021

Week 2 of 30 brings us to a trait that all of us need but a few of us want. When we think about this word, it has been given a bad reputation. The truth is that all of us need to be admonished at one time or another. The admonishment I’m referring to is that of constructive guidance in what to avoid. The sound loving counsel that is given to advise or warn us. “Now I myself am confident concerning you, my brethren, that you also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.” Paul here speaks of how we want to condition ourselves as it pertains to our loved ones. Before we begin to admonish someone, let’s check to see that our heart tank is full of goodness and intellect filled with all knowledge. All knowledge is needed to help make admonishing palatable. It’s not enough for us to know that our loved ones are in need of guidance. The deep question is why? Why do they need this advice? Of course, it can be because of the lack of knowledge, but why don’t they know. Who has not made some crazy decisions? Our admonishing needs to be that of understanding where our loved one may be and give education to help them achieve where they want to be. Admonishing has for the most part been expressed from the position of reprimand, again giving admonishing a bad rep. Reprimand speaks to and from the posture of rebuke. Reprimand in the form of severe or formal reproof can be hard to digest. I understand that some of our loved ones may need it and may not always accept or adhere to sound counsel. However, this week let’s focus our attention to intentionally filling our hearts with goodness and our intellect with all knowledge. That when we speak, we take into account all aspects of the situation and wrap our admonishing with adoration. Let's not give something we would not want ourselves.  ​
