We must remember that kids are more concerned with actually spending time with us than with the particulars of the activity. When your six-year-old son asks you to play catch with him, he’s asking you to spend time with him—face-to-face.
If we live life expecting others to conform to our belief system we will become frustrated and disillusioned, especially if that person is our spouse.
If Jesus promised an abundant, rich and satisfying life, how could He also promise many trials and sorrows? Aren’t those opposites? Why is the Christian life abundantly difficult at times?
