Family is Important - Genesis 29

S - Genesis 29:14 Laban exclaimed, “You really are my own flesh and blood!”
O - When Jacob came to Labon and explained that he was really his nephew, this verse was Labon's response. There was truly something special about family and Labon was thrilled to meet and have his nephew there with him.
A - This should be the standard that I have toward family, outside of my wife and children, as well. I need to not only have an attitude of duty or "because it's the right thing to do" attitude when it comes to family but I should cherish the family that God has given me and learn to really "love" those in my life.
P - God, you are the provider of my family and have placed me in the family that you knew I needed. I thank you for them and I ask for your love and you eyes towards them. Help me to really cherish them and to show my immediate family what it means to be a memeber of a family and why it is so important. You have shown what it means best to be a family and a father, help me to be this same example. I love you Lord. I desire your presence and your peace every single day. Help me today to be the man that you want me to be and to provide for and protect my family. Thank you for the love of my life in my wife. I pray that you give her peace and health, especially of this time of bringing another child into this world.
