Going to the Source

Today has been about going to the source. Our church is going through a difficult time and many people are leaving. It's sad. #1 son works for the church, #2 son has left the church (with our blessings) #3 son is wanting to teach in the childrens area with me backing him up.

A long discussion was held with spouse, #1, #3, and myself today. The thing that really came out of it was that we need to be seeking our source, Jesus, and not be swayed by the emotion and anger around us. There is no need to side with anyone, but to love all. #1 son is deeply torn in all this, many of his friends have left and yet he is not at this time. We encouraged him to focus on the two things: love and his source. The church if we focus on it is not our source. I didn't learn that the first time this happened, and now I am not as affected because I have that understanding.

The other thing is to remember Jesus on the ship in the storm. He wasn't affected, he wasn't upset. He wasn't even aware there was a storm. This can be achieved. In fact, it is where we should be. Give me the grace for this. Please.
