Greetings Sibley/Campbell Family,
As we "Spring" into "Summer" it's wonderful to have Ernie Sibley Sims (affectionately known to our Sibley/Campbell Family as "Tiney") as our Blog Contributor for June. Our lives can become chaotic or complicated sometimes, but Ernie reminds us of the basic fundamentals in "The Purpose Of Family"... Please sign-up to join our blog community and feel free to post your comments or thoughts to our monthly blogs. They're truly wonderful and encouraging to read. Enjoy, sib "wallace, jr."
The beginning of family is seen in Genesis 1:27-28 when God created man and woman. Other examples of family are God the Father, and Jesus Christ, the Son. God became flesh and became obedient to His earthly mother and father. Jesus Christ modeled how to honor your parents and benefit from their instructions.
I believe the purpose of family is for parents to show, share, and teach the love of God to their children. In doing so, they will provide a safe place for children to learn and develop their purpose in life. Proverbs 1:8 says, “listen my son, to your father’s instructions and do not forsake your mother’s teaching.”
In conclusion, parents you have an awesome responsibility. God placed children in the family to experience love and to learn how to love others.
Aunt Tiney, I truly enjoyed reading your blog post. It's so important to remember the purpose and foundation of our family. sib
