Hi, this is Victoria. Thank you so much for downloading this podcast. I believe God has

amazing things in your future. I hope you enjoy this message.

I just want to remind us about something. See, God has given us His grace. He's covered us,

all of our failures and all of our mistakes. He's never going to fail us. He's always going to love

us. What a beautiful position to be in. Such a secure position to be in. In fact, when you think

about that, it makes you want to do better. It makes you want to rise higher. In fact, the scripture

says it's the goodness of God that leads us to repentance. You could say it like this. It's the

goodness of God that works in us and makes us better. Makes us into the people he's called us to be.

See the same goodness, the same love, the same unfailing love. It not only is for us, but it's for

those around us. It's for our family. It's for our spouses, our children, our relatives, our

neighbor. You see, God blesses us and gives us this. Not to hold on to it for ourselves. Not to say,

oh, this is so great, God. No, He blesses us so that we can spread the blessing so that we can give

the favor so that we can be that conduit on this earth. It's called the hands and feet of Jesus.

And I want us to believe with all of our heart that we are so covered and so loved that we are

able to do the same for other people. I want to talk today about our families, making sure we are

covering our families, making sure we are loving them, considering them, not just putting them on our

to-do list, but putting them on our to-love list. Every day, are you loving the gifts that God is giving

you? You see, children, the Bible says they're a heritage. They're a gift from God. See, we're not

just supposed to work for them. We're supposed to enjoy them. We're supposed to celebrate with them.

Our spouses, they are a gift from God. They are someone to help us grow and learn and live life

together. Are we putting them on our love list every single day? I've been married to Joel for

30 years and I've got to tell you this. I still have to remind myself. Is he on my love list?
