Intro: Hi, this is Dorette Schaal with your dailyeword. This week we are talking again about the one another’s of the New Testament. Romans 15:4 tells us to instruct one another, and Col 3:16 reminds us that we are to admonish each other. Here are some encouraging words about enriching our relationships by pooling our wisdom and remaining teachable. We are keeping it real in relationships, and here is your daily eword.
One of the main topics I love talking about is having one hand up to learn, and one hand out to teach. We call it being a mentor or being mentored. We all have something we can share with someone else, and we all have something we can learn from someone else. What we have learned benefits not only us, but others as well, if we let it. It works in the home, it works in church, it works in our relationships at work, in our community, really wherever. It even works with your spouse if you are married! What this really speaks to is community. We are part of a body, and just like a family, we are here to help each other. Don’t you just love the family of God? I love my family too! I love it when I learn something from one of my kids. I do realize as I am growing older, how many things I do that I learned from my mom. That makes me more aware that my kids are watching, observing and learning. They probably will do may things just like I do! What are some valuable lessons you gleaned from your parents? Are you passing them on to your kids? That’s what we do in families, that’s what we do in the family of God. Once you learn something, pass it on! Keep it real in your family!
