Thicker Than WaterNäide

Have you ever had to learn a new skill? Maybe it was something at school, or for sports, or at home. Chances are, you didn’t crush it on your first try. You kept trying and practicing and learning. That’s called perseverance. Persevering is to keep going, even when it takes longer than we think, and longer than we want, and it isn’t very easy. Family relationships can be hard, and we all know that they are so different than other relationships. It is important to persevere with our family, even when it is challenging.

James says the people who don’t give up are “blessed.” Meaning, they discover something, learn something, or get something when they don’t quit.

Today, pray for perseverance when it comes to your family and how you can keep showing up, even when it might be tough.
