In the days of the lives we lead; we discover quickly there is no one home.  For some of us, this is reality.   It took form and never changed back.   The heartbeat of the home is said to be the Mother, and the backbone of the family is the father.   Together they make up a unity designed by God.

The Family nucleus is in shreds!   Why?   There is no one home.   The desire for more stuff, more independence, more, more, more!   Unfortunatley  the children are the ones suffering!   For to come home, and the house is empty, the quiet reigns loudly; what is a child to do?   When they have been picked on at school, or they missed the bus, or they don’t feel good, who answers the call?

The breakdown in the family unit is a tradgedy!   Children are tossed a twenty and told to order a pizza!  Children are called from the office and told to do their homework, children are screamed at because the parents are exhausted, and patience is nil!   Who Cares?!   

The design of the human family was intended for a husband and wife to build a home together.   To raise a family together!   However, there are more single parents than nescessary!   The Holy Family, Jesus, Mary and Joseph, are to be our example to a unified family.   Why is it that when something works, people believe they can improve on what God has designed and proven!
This is everywhere!  Mankind deems God is to strict and chooses to malign life to work on the aspects of his own will.  Thereby creating a world that is in chaos!

Some of us remember, the days of playing outside, without a dozen toys, the days when imagination was king.   The days when quiet was.   Now, there is noise and toys, and games, tattoos, piercings, and streeked hair, and anything one can think of to draw attention to a child.   Clothing is a joke!  People do not dress for anything anymore.   The days were when one saved their Sunday Best for Sunday!   The nice shoes, and the ‘nice clothes, were for church and you did not wear them to school. Propriety was important! Manners were enforced, and discipline was not a bad word!  Now, we have chaos!   Why?   The heartbeat of the home is  not beating!  For who can possiably make a difference when they are not there!  ‘Parenting’ is hired!

If there was ever a need to recognize the importance of a Mother at home, it is now!!  There is no price high enough for the value of a Mothers Love!  Her caress, and Her understanding, Her hugs, and kisses to make it better!   What amount of money can make up for such a gift?   What toy, what show, and what game are more important than the love a child recieves from his or her Mother?

The core to a family is Prayer!  Years ago, there was a saying,’The Family that Prays together stays together!’   Yet, when Mother got a career, and was no longer home, who was there to teach the fine art of living?   Now, we have either bad manners or no manners in many of our children.   The family time is rare.   So much so, that most are fortunate if they eat one meal together a day!   Where is the bonding time?  Remember bonding?  You know, the nurturing that comes from being together.   It is no wonder divorce is high and children are straying far from home.  Then again, many believe once children are teen- agers they can fend for themselves!   This is rediculous!   For, they are more confused in there teens then they realize.

What does it take to fix a family?   The Love of God in the center nuceus of the family is a beginning.   If no one ‘needs church’ no one needs prayer, and no one needs attention, then what happens?  Does the source that is all good and all loving , not begin to die?   We all need!   We need time, compassion, understanding, and patience.

The excuses that are found to deter the mind from ‘understanding’ is prevelent.   The choice to believe is rare.   To come to an understanding, we must choose to believe.  For God is everywhere and wishes to hear from everyone!

So many times people tell me they do not believe in community prayer, (church)!   This is a big part of why we are in the situation we are in.  Prayer and its magnanimous force is real!  Yet, what works when it is not applied?   Really, people spend on booze,  drugs, sex, pornography and anything else that will possiably fill their void!   The void that resides within is a craving fom the Holy Spirit, for the soul to cry out to God Our Father!  A force so powerful it keeps one thirsting for more!   Jesus is the living water!  The Son of God!  The enlightenment of grace that fills the mind.

If you find yourself fighting in your family, the liquor bill nescessary as food on the table, and drugs a need to deter the anxiety, and distractions to others outside the marriage, then the spirit within you is thirsting for God! Our Heavenly Father is waiting!

Many say to me, ‘I don’t need church’!  ‘I can pray at home!’   Well, do you?  People allow themselves to become stagnat!  To find balance to living begins with God!  God being first and foremost!   Then the love that was dormant will become refreshed and renewed!

There are Seven Deadly Sins!   They are: Pride, covetous, Lust, Anger, Gluttony, Envy, Sloth!   These are Satan’s  Tools!   One leads to another, until you have lost your way entirely!  If you doubt my words, I dare you to try to live, without experiencing the change within, once the truth is applied!  The Truth is the teachings of Jesus Christ!  They are the Ten Commandmentds lived out by Our Lord!  Apply them, embrace them, and experience them, and the transfiguration your soul thirsts for will emerge!  Book of Romans Chapter 13 verses 9-10 and Romans Chapter 14 verse 7-10   If you doubt then search for yourself to find the truth to living! Jesus Christ is the way the truth and the life, and no one goes to the Father but through Him!

Do you think Mary worked outside the home?   Do you think Joseph sat down with a drink at the end of the day, and yelled at Jesus?   Do you think Jesus yelled at Joseph and Mary?   The ‘Holy Family’ is such because they are our example to living a happy fulfilled family life!   Everything else will fail!   It has been proven!  The world and the family are in disarry!   For until God is first, God is embraced and the Love of Jesus Christ experienced, the family unit will continue to decay!

Pray, and prayer will change your life!  Satan, all that is temptation will pull you in unless you choose to put God first as Jesus, Mary, and Joseph did!
