At CHAOS, a junior high youth group, we shared a video with three college students telling stories on what they have learned about communication with their parents.

Mom and Dad, there is hope.

The Takeaway.

I love these quotes from the stories that were shared:

“Those times with my dad have shaped me to be the man I am today.”

“Every moment of every day is meant to be.  And it is meant to live life to the fullest.”

“I’m thankful for everyday that I have with my mom.”

“Sure, we had our disagreements.  But the way we talked about and worked through those disagreements still honored God.”

“I realized that the decisions my friends were making were not lining up with the Bible.”

“I wonder what could have been had I not been so disrespectful…”

“Take an honest look at your relationship with your parents.  I would encourage you to take small steps in making that relationship with your parents even stronger.”
