It&#8217;s crucial, as the Bible guides us, to be<i> &#8220;quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry&#8221; (James 1:19)<\/i>. I&#8217;ve learned that taking a moment, maybe a few hours, before responding can change the course of a conversation for the better. It&#8217;s about holding back those immediate, often regrettable words that come in the heat of the moment.<\/p><p>When I feel the urge to vent, I write down my thoughts first. It&#8217;s fascinating how a little time can shift our perspective, leading to calmer, more constructive dialogues. It&#8217;s in these moments of pause that we can reflect and see if there&#8217;s truth to the feedback we&#8217;re given. If change feels daunting, I turn to prayer, remembering that with God, <i>&#8220;nothing is impossible&#8221; (Luke 1:37)<\/i>.<\/p><p>Family dynamics can be tricky, with a generational divide often at the heart. Parents and children may see the world differently, but finding a middle ground is key. It&#8217;s not about forcing but guiding with love and understanding. When disagreements arise, it&#8217;s an opportunity to demonstrate grace and forgiveness, embodying the love that<i> &#8220;covers all wrongs&#8221; (Proverbs 10:12)<\/i>.<\/p><p>Forgiveness, though not always easy, is essential. I find strength in prayer, reflecting on how Jesus forgave and continues to forgive us. He teaches us the profound impact of forgiveness, reminding us<i>, &#8220;If you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins&#8221; (Matthew 6:15)<\/i>. This principle challenges us to forgive, not just for others, but for our own peace and spiritual growth.<\/p><p>We know that balancing family life, especially in moments of tension, is about listening, patience, and forgiveness. It&#8217;s about embracing each moment with grace, understanding, and a heart open to God&#8217;s guidance. Let&#8217;s walk in love, forgive generously, and remember, in every family conversation, there&#8217;s an opportunity to reflect God&#8217;s love and grace.<\/p><p>We warmly invite you to come to the True Jesus Church\u2019s bi-annual Evangelical Service and Spiritual Convocation.\u00a0 See details below.<\/p><p>18-21 April, 2024 Evangelical Service and Spiritual Convocation<\/p><p>Thursday, 18 April, 2024 6:50PM to 8:10PM<br \/>Friday and Saturday, 19-20 April, 2024 9:00AM to 8:10PM<br \/>Sunday, 21 April, 2024 9:00AM to 1:00PM<br \/>Complimentary lunch and dinner will be served.<\/p><p>Please find our church location below:<\/p><p><b>4N550 Church Road<br \/><\/b><b>Bensenville,\u00a0<abbr title=\"Illinois\">IL<\/abbr>\u00a060106<br \/><\/b><i aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/place\/True+Jesus+Church+Chicago\/@41.945266,-87.9536702,18.39z\/data=!4m14!1m7!3m6!1s0x880fb39f5fbd433d:0x72d82c41e185bf3e!2s4+S+Church+Rd,+Bensenville,+IL+60106!3b1!8m2!3d41.9448745!4d-87.9534209!3m5!1s0x880fb3a1e4e2dd49:0xd44299b704de1192!8m2!3d41.9453743!4d-87.9533863!16s%2Fg%2F1tdn02z1?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><b>\u00a0Google Maps<\/b><\/a><\/p><p>For online streaming, please\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/tjc-chicago.org\/service\/live-sabbath-service\/\">click here<\/a>.<\/p><p>For regular service hours, please\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/tjc-chicago.org\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/tjc-chicago.org\/\">click here<\/a>.<b><\/b><\/p><p>Email us at\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:ilovejesus@tjc-chicago.org\">ilovejesus@tjc-chicago.org<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Graceful Patience: A Path to Family Harmony In life, we often encounter moments when we&#8217;re corrected or nagged by our loved ones, especially within our families.
