ROUTINE – ROUTE TO HAPPY ENDING

Routine is the key to success. Nothing becomes productive without routine. Good Christian parenting is based on routine – doing the same things week in and week out, over a long period of time. Becoming a good and loving husband, a loving and virtuous wife or a godly family doesn’t happen overnight or by accident. It requires patience embedded in routine – a little prayer here; a little study there; a little patience with the children; enduring a little more with one’s spouse; all in continuous, repeated cycles will get us to the mark.

Humans by nature get weary of routine very soon; yet no one masters excellence in anything, unless he has done it over and over again. That’s where grace comes in – when grace meets routine; joy disgraces fatigue, strength is made available, and love casts out fear.

Then is released the power to joyfully do same thing, and perform the same role with a wise heart; using a different approach, until perfection is reached. It takes maturity, and plenty of determination to make a family work; because seeing the same person every day, and in same manner, is routine. It takes two people, who are routinely committed to their children’s destinies; to endure with patience embroiled in love, to stay together, live together and fight together, despite reasons to do otherwise.

Humans always want something new; but it’s only a matter of time before the new also becomes old, once routine set in. Routine without grace produces frustration. A life endowed with grace is a happy life – ask Him for a baptism of grace.

That’s why @3pG we are determinedly committed to the routine provisions in grace through the instrumentality of our activities, for therein lies our bond and success as individuals, families and as a Group. It takes the determination and commitment of two people for a family to work. When a family succeeds, we all rejoice together; when a family lags behind, we wait and move together. No family must be left behind, because the destiny of every child in every family is precious to our God and to us as a Group. Therefore, no child, no man and wife, no single family is permitted to stay behind.

We must all be routinely committed in joy, patience and grace to and with each other as family. Take advantage of the gracious provision in the Weekly Audio Broadcast on Mondays; Holy Spirit Inspired Bible verse as Word for each Month; 4-Day Fasting and Prayer every month; 3pG Family Requests Day every Wednesday; The Intercessory Prayer Chain prior to the 4-Day event; Routine Group Discussions daily; Routine Individual and Family Prayers; the happy routine in Bible stories time with the children; etc. as seeds we must sow in order to achieve immediate and long term harvests if we faint not.

No fruit of grace and no family can abound, unless one is committed to sensible and godly routines. Approach may change, but the route never changes.

@3pG we are simply:

COMMITTED TO HELPING PARENTS TAKE SPIRITUAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE OVERALL WELFARE OF THEIR CHILDREN.
