Facilitating Connection
Children need to have a connection with their Grandparents, and other relatives. We parents have a tremendous responsibility in facilitating that relationship, those experiences. A child who doesn't have a sense of their heritage and a connection with it suffers a great loss. Similarly we parents must do the same with our child's/childrens' connection with God and faith. We have that tremendous responsibility to connect our child/children with God (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) and God's faith family. Again, without that, a great loss has occurred.
Why do I minister how I do, the way I do it -- There is a Bible passage that reads -- "I myself will shepherd them for others have led them astray." I never want to have God say to me, "I myself had to shepherd them because you were leading them astray."
We must encourage and support the faith connections/relationship. We are all connected.
I have helped with many retreats, and have facilitated many small groups. God has shown me: "We are not supposed to 'love facilitating'; we are supposed to facilitate loving.
