Hi Kathie, I’ve always thought that my parents didn’t teach me much but they always boast to each other that it was either my mom or my dad’s credit that resulted in their children doing well in school and society. Now that I’m older and talked to my mom more, I found that she felt that her being a stay at home mom is a big factor to raising good children. Her logic is that there is always someone at home and someone to be there should I have any problem in school. It’s exactly like what you mentioned!

And I really look forward to the day that my mom and dad will be christians.. we come from an asian family and they still stereotype christianity to western society.

Hi Kathie, It was good to read this writing, as I can identify myself with my family. I am single, but my relationship with my family is not very good because I failed to spend time with them, or maybe I didn’t know how to relate to my mum better, or to my sisters, whom I’ve problems relating because of childhood hurts.

I realize that family relation is vitally important, as we need each other for love and encouragement. I do not have a good childhood time with my siblings, and as I look back, it’s harder to witness to them about Jesus now as they are not Christians.

My prayer now is that I’ll be able to build up a relationship with them so that Jesus can be seen in my life and I can witness to them.

Please pray for me in this area, as I find myself struggling to handle myself well; either I said the wrong things, or I remain silent when I should speak that will help me tremendously in relating to them.

Thanks for praying and I look forward to this blog again.

Thanks – Deline

Thank you so much for the encouragement that you gave through your testimony and caring for our families. I will be reassessing some things in my personal life that will now not take me away from my family as much. I am sure that being a single mom, my children will appreciate this as well.

Hi Kathie,
Thank you for your encouragement and suggestions. I feel I have discovered a great tool to use to further God’s Kingdom and develop my own skills which, as others help me learn, I can then help others also. I love your professional quality site Kathy.

God bless you abundantly, Glynne Barry
