thank you for this sermon, it helps me as I navigate through both sides of this , i am a adult child who has a terribly sad relationship with my Father, and I am estranged from my adult son. Both relationships mean so much to me and I do everything I can to seek forgiveness and give it , accept responsibility for past and stay positive for future. let me tell you it is a daily struggle because this is a very deep and painful hurt. i am in such need something positive from them, but I continue to wait. please help me pray for strength and renew my spirit , so I may continue to show love in all I do that is pleasing the Lord.
It's not too late to tell your kids that honest truth and apologize and tell them you wish you would have done/known better. Even if they act like the don't want to hear it, some part of them will hear it and it will matter. You can't have any expectation of their reaction or try to control their reaction. Just do YOUR part. And God will do the rest. You may never see the fruit of your choice to apologize and be honest, but it will happen.
Thank you pastor. I’ve been searching for this advice for years. I raised 4, now 41, 39, 34, 31. Your expertise comes from the Lord. And that’s exactly what I needed to hear. God bless your family and ministry.
Great sermon, my son loves me and vice versa. However, it makes me sad knowing he is still working a part time job for years and content while living with his fiance. i support him but not the marriage he is about to go into. My son doesnt always follow thru with things he's supposed to be doing. Sometimes I feel like I have to save him from himself . I have to remind him to go to the dr, go to the dentist,did you do this or that? Smh He seems like he is complacent and im tried of seeing it. I feel like I did not get a return on my investment. lord forgive me as I didnt raise him like that.
Don’t be harsh on yourself dear, I’m in same space with my 28 yrs old daughter who still lives with me, treated her like a queen, didn’t discipline her right from teenage hood, I believe we do for our kids what we didn’t have, it’s time to remind ourselves and then that we trust their judgement and let them be and live way they see it’s right for them, focus on yourself as I’m trying to do ( good luck to us) when been always provider, there’s no good outcome of blaming ourselves, yet when we know what we’re doing is draining us or taking power off them and continue to do is the problem, life is a learning journey, but if we don’t apply what we learn keeps us and them in same circle, best of luck to us, air hugs 🤗
Hi iam a single mom of a 22 year old since she is abroad she alienated me a bit did not wish me a happy Mother’s Day Blane’s estranged me iam Jewish but very close to Jesus iam not a perfect mum but have enough of her blaming me abusing me I am listening thank you dear
I have done that n that doesn’t work at all !!! Because money means more then humans 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏I am so grateful n thankful k get named called threats it’s a taught lesson
Once upon a time there was principal and morals for a family and individuals to follow, where adults take care of their kids until they grow into adulthood, then children take care their own kids and help parents, now Parents has to end their days working to take care of their own adult children because those children are to lazy to take care of themselves. So as I'm seeing things going, humanity is doomed, not for lack of knowledge, but for lazyness 🤪🤣🤣🤣😂🤭
Apologize for the stuff you did wrong....then ignore their projections...ignore what they say and leave them alone. Focus on your grandkids and your own happiness. Have fun.
if your children are adults, use this time to heal & redo yourself into a strong wiser person & still use this advice given here - be humble & trust God to do his work in your lives as a family - it might take a long time (in our eyes- because with God time doesn’t matter!) don’t ever give up trust in Gods timing & power 🙏🏼
This is very wise advice, my kids are adults and learned each of these principles the hard way. God is able to do more than we can imagine, keep praying for them rather than fixing them. Only God knows their heart and what needs tending too.

This is great advice!! Check out our video with Alexis from Not Safe for Mom Group, where we talk about the importance of Middle Motherhood! Parenting doesn't have to be less cute past the toddler phase. :)
Sabrina, I hear you. God knows people are flawed - including church leaders. Christ wants a personal relationship with you. He is the BFF we don’t even know we have. When He helped me through my worst season of life I told Him I would stand for Him if he fixed the impossible. So here I am. After being burned the only person who would NEVER let me down is Christ. I trust in Him but honestly I don’t have trust in any formal religion because people are sinners. Church is a place I sometimes visit and it’s good to be there but I keep in mind people are fallible. It’s ALL about opening the door to our heart because Jesus keeps knocking. He loves you SO much it’s hard to fathom because love like that doesn’t exist here on Earth. 💕
Too late for me…my mom & outlaws ruined my marriage. Divorced 4 yrs now. But my ex was very weak too & couldn’t leave & cleave to his own wife & kids. My mistake in choosing wrong spouse & inlaws🫤
