Endangered Family Concept: The Family Meal |
|
Well, a couple of weeks ago I was listening to a morning sports talk radio show and to my surprise they were interviewing Doris Roberts, the overbearing, busy-body mother-in-law of “Everybody Loves Raymond.” They asked her what new projects she was working on now that the show was over. Her response made me begin to think. She answered that she had teamed up with KFC to bring back the family meal. She went on and said, “It is sad, in America today 92% of families don’t have a regular family meal.” I thought, “That has to be wrong.” She went on and said that studies had been done and statistical data compiled that proved that families who eat together are better connected and more stable members of society. Divorces rates are lower, children’s grades were higher and respect for one another was more the norm than in homes where no regular family meal took place.

Last winter I had a dream that I was steering a large building of some kind down a road. (I'm not sure how you steer a building, but I was doing it.) The foundation and first floor were massive and solid. Then, as I looked at the second floor I saw that it clearly needed reinforcements or it would not stay up. I awoke a little startled, but knew what God was trying to get across to me. I heard in my mind the exhortation of a close friend telling me to share the load. “It’s too big Bob, you can’t do it all yourself anymore.” I began praying about it and as the school year came to a close God brought the pieces of the puzzle together.

Letter from Parent - Followup to the Cutting Story |
“I am amazed every time God answers a prayer in my life. For almost the past year my prayers have been for my 14 year-old daughter. Last July we discovered that she had been caught up in this horrible horrible cycle of cutting. I had heard of it before but never in my wildest dreams would have thought my daughter was doing this.

Recently, I received an email from a 7th grader telling me how awful
and dark her year had been. She explained to me how she felt alone,
that she even felt like God wanted nothing to do with her, “…if He’s
really real?” This child went on and told me that every time she went
to youth group she felt like maybe it would help to respond to the
altar call at the end of the service. “But I remember that I gave my
life to Jesus when I was little. Mr. Bob, what should I do?”
