Who's At The Table?
Ruth 1:14-18 And they lifted up their voices and wept again; and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth clung to her. Then she said, “Behold, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and her gods; return after your sister-in-law.” But Ruth said, “Do not urge me to leave you or turn back from following you; for where you go, I will go, and where you lodge, I will lodge. Your people shall be my people, and your God, my God. “Where you die, I will die, and there I will be buried. Thus may the LORD do to me, and worse, if anything but death parts you and me.” When she saw that she was determined to go with her, she said no more to her. FULLY PRESENT - A COMPLETELY POSITIVE FAMILY EXPERIENCE. 1. Declare Your Love. Remember Your Happiest Moments. 2. Demote Someone From High Expectations. 3. Believe The Best. Disconnect Negative From Positive. 4. Choose Person Over Place. Go Where They Want To Go. Stay Where They Want To Stay. 5. Live This Holiday As If It Were Your Last. 6. Enjoy Them. Don't Change Them. 7. God Will Make Up The Difference Between What I Got And What I Needed.
