Hi, this is Joel and Victoria. Thanks for listening to our podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry.

If you enjoy today's message, why don't you be a blessing and share it with a friend.

We appreciate you and pray for God's very best in your life. You may be seated. I just want to encourage all of us today to keep healthy connections with our families.

You know, going forward in 2017, we need to make sure that we're making a personal

investment into our family members, that we're building strong bonds and we're creating

trust and security in our families.

It's so easy in this culture with everything that we have to do and all the technology

that we have to get things done more quickly.

We have to make sure that we don't just breeze by one another and not make personal connections.

There's so much to do.

There's so many people to see. It's up to us to make the

choices and priorities to connect with those that we love. You know, Joel and I have to make it a

priority to spend personal quality time together. Now, Joel and I are together a lot. We work together. I'm not talking about coexisting in a home.

I'm not talking about working in a task together. I'm talking about making investments in the

life of people that you love, making personal time to find out what they like, to be a part of what they like,

to enjoy their gifts, enjoy their talents.

You know, Joel and I, we love to take walks together.

We love to ride our bikes.

We'll go on a date night every now and then.

Sometimes we just get in the car and we drive nowhere.

But these are times that we have created to just be together,

not to talk about work, not to necessarily talk about a problem or an issue that we're facing,
