Spending Quality Family Time
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 2 times

Spending Quality Family Time Is Important!



 



A son arranged for his father’s



birthday appointment.



He was soon afterward filled



with much disappointment.



 



His son wanted for his family



to come and see him.



This way the grandkids could see



grandpa and be with him.



 



When the time came, his father was



busy with other things.



He didn’t think about the consequences



this brings.



 



It seemed like making some money



was his goal of the day.



He spent 20 minutes with his son



and then went away.



 



His son thought it was important



to come as a family.



But his father seemed to be



“pre-occupied,” and not happy.



 



His son went home that day with



a heart that was broken.



Afterwards, few words with his



father were spoken.



 



Spending time with family should be



an important thing to do.



No matter what seems to have



“wrapped itself around you.”



 



Whatever distraction, or what may come our way.



Shouldn’t replace our time



to come together and pray.



 



Special occasions that come about



 in life need encouragement.



Let’s not go our separate ways



filled with discouragement!



 



Let’s spend quality time!  Every mom,



 dad, daughter and son!



Let’s ask for God’s blessings, and seek



his love as ONE!



 



As a family, let’s seek God’s love



 to completely fill our soul!



And make quality family time



 our number one goal!

About the Poet
I and my wife have 4 grown children and currently live in the Pacific Northwest. I've spent much of my life doing volunteer work in the food distribution for the needy among local churches. Many of the poems I've written are a reflection of times of adversity as a reminder of God's love and faithfulness. I've found many opportunities to share my poems with those who are hurting and discouraged. I'm thankful for the reports of many of the poems touching people's lives. I hope that the poems included on Wordchimes will touch and bless your life too!
