My family puts the fun in dysfunctional.

There are no perfect families.

Genesis 5:1 — This is the written account of Adam’s family line.

Genesis 6:9 — This is the account of Noah and his family.

Genesis 11:10 — This is the account of Shem’s family line.

Genesis 11:27 — This is the account of Terah’s family line.

Genesis 25:12 — This is the account of the family line of Abraham’s son Ishmael…

Genesis 25:19 — This is the account of the family line of Abraham’s son Isaac.

Genesis 36:1 — This is the account of the family line of Esau (that is, Edom).

Genesis 37:2 — This is the account of Jacob’s family line.

What will be the account of my family?

May our family live in the love of the Lord.

Psalm 103:17 — But from everlasting to everlasting the LORD’s love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children’s children.

Teach your children to walk with God, and they will never walk alone.

May we be remembered as a forgiving family.

Colossians 3:13 — Don’t be angry with each other, but forgive each other. If you feel someone has wronged you, forgive them. Forgive others because the Lord forgave you.

Every time we forgive, we declare that the cross is enough — not just for us, but for them too.

May we be remembered as a praying family.

Acts 10:2 — He and all his family were devout and God-fearing; he gave generously to those in need and prayed to God regularly.

May our family be a God-centered and faith-focused family.
