An weekend spent with he kids cycling on Saturday and sailing on Sunday. It is a life with the family that I enjoyed. But over the weekend, Jo did his amount of work, but needs a lot of organization skills. He has been a boy of much concern. His results has fall from average to below , too distracted by the phone for social and for games. Is there nothing we can do? We have nag, we have reminds, we have warned..
Well this speak for a burden to grow, not in Jo, but myself. The week before was on grace. Something that we do not deserve but was given. We received the grace and therefore extends the grace to others. Grace from Christ - thanks but the respond is change. A change to grow. A need to grow.
As a father, I can help Jo, but I can also pray. But more importantly is Jo walk with God. He don't really read the word, pray, journal. I hope that the playing of guitar is his worship and not entertainment.
How to catch him, I need to spend a lot of time with him, with my children,. It is then to guide them or to show them or to do it for them?
Well Lord, this is the burden I have this morning for my children.

Reading and time alone with God from Gen35-36
God was with Jacob. It was God who directed Jacob path- his when to go and his when to stay.
God appeared to Jacob.
God rename Jacob
God spoke to Jacob
It was a reset for Jacob. From Jacob, came nations, and kings.
What is God intent for me and my family? What is the focus that I must and do that the family runs for God? It must in be inline such that God purposes and direct my family.
It therefore starts with me. What tone am I setting - my own relationship with God.
