Growing Deep Roots

How in the world does a tree stand so tall and beautiful?

The bigger the tree, the deeper the roots. The smaller the tree, the more shallow the roots.

If we as Christians grow deep strong roots, there is a smaller chance we will bend or break in the midst of trial.

How to Grow Strong Roots:

1. You MUST have a daily intake of the Word.

2. You MUST pray. Prayer is two way communication: talking AND listening.

3. You MUST commit to follow God's Word. There are some things in the Bible that we are commanded to do ~ these are non-negotiable. There's other things that are not mentioned directly or at all. In these areas, we have to pray and discern the will of God for our lives in this particular area. This will look different for each person and family.

4. Surround yourself with people who lift you up and make you a better person in Christ.

When we do these things we are helping to build strong roots. If your desire is to have a strong family, you need to be in the Word of God and following the commands of the Father.

In the near future, we will be talking about how to make a spiritual plan for YOUR family.

For now, we may be focusing more on keeping our focus during the Thanksgiving/Christmas season. We are approaching that busy time of year.
