We talk a lot together. 19:32 Talking communicating with just spouse. doesn't have to be a spouse. If you have 19:36 children, you alone know, speaking with family offense that is so good to have that 19:42 open communication. As you know, my husband, I travel together.

Time 20:36 with my siblings and cousins. It priceless. Know time goes fast of nieces and nephews. 20:44 They grow up so quickly. And I I want to spend time with them and it means so much to me. So 20:48 when we all got together, we laughed. We talked, we reminisce and we just had so 20:56 much fun. And one thing I do, I don't want to ever regret and say I didn't spend enough 21:04 time. The sister-in-law that passed away at 35 years old and she worked worked, worked, 21:09 worked And it was just constant work in and she had 2 jobs had one daughter. And 21:18 when she got cancer, she says my biggest regret is not spending time with my family. 21:25 So spending family time is pre ISIS. I just can't say enough about that. about my time 21:32 this? OK? People always say you guys all so busy. Yeah. Busy. 21:38 >> Sure. But we take time to get to know. Watch church members of church founded come 21:43 to my house. Come have lunch outside of work outside of church and not get to know 21:49 them. >> You come to my house will talk and I get to know people 21:52 in such an intimate way in it. It really means a lot. Some of it. Some of the church members 21:59 go on vacation with us right I celebrated my 25th anniversary was quite a bit of us. Went 22:08 down to there are memories but we don't bring them back. And >> And so I think it is a 22:18 haha. But members have gone on vacation with the sun is just beautiful because I do get to 22:22 know them outside of home in southern Illinois. But when it comes to problems that people 22:31 have illness and death has been an eye on we don't waste time. If somebody dies on 22:35 >> Illness call us. We will stop everything. So many things I can't even tell you 22:41 about, because we we have such a privacy us a little thing that we do not tell abroad 22:48 what's going on with other people's lives. So we have you come over time. How so many 22:53 times people come over and we talk and have a wonderful time and sometime Saturday night 22:59 right up to vespas. Come on over to my house and now the Times it happens during the 23:04 week. The values of Time is Dan demonstrate in has the highest life as a Life was 23:13 extended. We know. And I say a 38 one through 5 when Hezekiah was sick. He was death. And he 23:22 was crying out to the Lord. The Lord said to him such a house in order because you're 23:26 gonna die. And he was just he was so sad. His face. he turned his face, told the 23:34 ball. He prayed and he cried. And he says, remember, Lord, I pray how I have watched the 23:43 full U in truth and with a loyal hot and done what is couldn't yes site. And the 23:49 word of the Lord in verse 4 came to saying going till Hezekiah that says the Lord, 23:58 the God of David, Jill father, I have heard prayer. I have seen your tears. Surely I will 24:03 add to your days, 15 years. Wow. What a blessing. Oh, this is so beautiful. But there are 24:12 3 lessons taught to Hezekiah is experience and I'm going and with this, I like them. 24:17 Number one time is valuable. Some 90 verse 12. So teach us to number days that we heart 24:25 of wisdom. Time is short. Number 2, some 89. 47, I'm just going to be the first 24:35 part. Remember how short my time Wow. You know, we grew so many of us to cite what 24:42 happened. You know, you I'm 2030 40 50. What happened to time being though? And the 24:49 last one life is on predictable, James for 14 says what is your life? It is even 24:56 a par. That appears for little time that that issue is away. Good to have a cup of hot tea 25:05 is something you just see that smoke just just disappear. Yeah, it's a vapor. So my what 25:12 to you is how you time time is precious family time. Time with you loved ones. You can 25:18 never get that. And then never. So that's my were it to you? I ran out of he and you 25:37 should mild that time. What if someone were to say? But >> I don't have time. What 25:42 would you say to them? You know, maybe their job. And, you know, you could say, well, 25:47 maybe you need to learn to balance that. But maybe what if it's a single parent by 25:50 someone who hast to provide for their family. And what would you say then? How do you 25:56 find quality time with those that you love when usually get a busy schedule? 26:01 >> Well, everyone has a busy schedule, but it's amazing how we find a way to make time 26:07 that we want to thank you. And I realize that. >> That there are single 26:11 parents out there that just seem like they're busy all the time. But you maybe need to 26:14 look at. At. Can you really just something put your priorities play was going to 26:22 say priority. Yeah. >> And when you make it a priority, you you find the 26:28 time. >> Right. And you can make quality time. Maybe you do 26:31 only get 10 minutes to do something. But make it be very focused on what you're doing. 26:37 People find time for things that they lot right. Exactly. They always findings they do. 26:42 And even starting small because even if you we just a few verses in the Bible, 26:47 that's already a progress than what you've done before. Said even making that effort. First 26:50 thing in the morning when you're really busy. >> You find out that that time 26:53 with God sets. The stage show most for the day. Making at on really is valuable even just 27:04 to say, I love you too. I loved Just that moment. Even though it's sporadic, whatever 27:12 that goes a long way. Yes, I have to say to I appreciate that. You and pastor take time 27:17 your congregation and there is so special and it's it's it's very much appreciated. And 27:24 yeah, we all feel church members. Yeah, is our priority. Even though people 27:27 say all you, he's so busy. We always say don't say that. Yes, we're busy, but we have 27:32 time for OK? >> And then they'll come up at all. 27:37 >> Many of us have benefited from that time. So thank you. Yes, love. Go into your of 27:45 having people over >> I love that. That's fabulous. So that I I like you 27:52 talk about making a priority. Yes. And then Francine, you talk to that was precious 27:57 about incorporating Jesus making time for Jason, you know, with the word making 28:01 heist that. >> What quality time is not your love language. I guess 28:07 what I mean by that is what if mine is words of affirmation and I get that. And so usually 28:12 what you enjoy is what you get is not right. >> So then you're giving that 28:16 your spouse or someone who is really important in your life and I'm giving them all. I 28:21 really appreciate you, Honey. Oh, you're doing a great job and they're thinking. 28:24 >> All I want is your time? Yeah. >> I know. How do we how do we 28:30 learned what someone else language even and how do we learn how to then give that 28:35 even if it's not something that we would naturally do. >> But if you love someone, if 28:41 you love someone, you one, I took a time. When it all came out. David Knife only learned 28:46 our love language. And so then you make it then you do something I love of learning 28:54 that love language. And if if if if time is their gift and it's not yours, you need to 29:01 figure out a way to give them some time. But if you are a and then maybe even Corp 29:08 incorporate your love language into part of that time giving. >> All right. That any other 29:14 thoughts? >> Well, there is. I mean, bet the one for the children once 29:20 upon a time. And so it's to know what a child's love languages, for example. And so 29:27 how do you do that? Well, sometimes you can say, do you know it that you're allowed? 29:31 Yeah. And then when you ask that question, OK, if they do feel loved. How do you know 29:35 you feel loved? And by what they say if it's a gift, if it's the time that you spend 2 29:43 hits affirmation, you don't. You'll start seeing by what they say. You love me because 29:48 you that's that's kind of clue that was going adults to whey I meant to do it more subtly 30:02 with. >> Yeah, the I think we have to really get out of our 30:06 comfort zone. Like what you're talking about is, you know, if it's something that's not 30:09 natural for us, that we enjoy receiving is kind of like how do I do Because it's not 30:13 something I normally do. >> And being willing to get out of our comfort zone to do 30:19 that for that person that we're trying to show that love to. But something we have to 30:24 actually think about it. Yes, something you've got to be intentional about. Yeah, you 30:30 how? I like that. Getting out. You know, I started with the first Corinthians 13 verse 4 30:36 hits as love suffers long and his kind. >> And love suffering long. 30:41 This might seem strange to you. But to me love suffering long. We often think of his 30:45 patients might. But quality time is patients with someone else to have you ever talk on 30:50 the phone with someone. I have done this in hurry. like, OK, could you hurry up, right? I 30:55 don't really have time. Well, that's me. Not suffering long. I'm not being stations. So if 31:01 I am patients, then I'm going to get quality time to maybe kind of go together. I don't 31:08 know if like that quality time is also the eye contact. Well, yeah, looking at each Your 31:17 phone? Yeah. It's giving the undivided active listening. You said the right? Yeah. 31:21 >> And what is active listening? And I've heard it defined in different ways. But 31:28 to me, it's kind of like your. >> Sometimes repeating what they're saying, acknowledging 31:36 that you heard what they're saying. So what I hear you saying is and that type of 31:38 thing and just to show that you are actually paying attention. And you're not just 31:45 though, because if you need to out. Yeah. And so it's easy to just. Shake your 31:54 >> Have also know you're not actually been in the city of to buy a stop talking that you 31:58 start telling something different yourself a way to get to get yes out. I have 32:04 something get the several years ago. Sister Jean. >> to me. He says I'm not 32:12 because he was just doing stuff said, look at me, you're not listening to me. And he 32:15 stopped everything in his life. Oh, okay. And kuz. You just going on doing his own 32:22 thing and I'm talking to him and he's looking this way that way. 32:25 >> Said, listen, just listen to me. And from then on, I never had a problem. 32:35 >> What >> I'm say something you just stop and say, he looked me in 32:38 my eyes and say, OK, OK on this people don't do things out of ignorance then to it. 32:45 women kind of guilty about about you should know who should be able to read my ma. 32:52 read my heart. >> You should know. And the poor guys. Yeah, don't know. 32:59 And then, yeah. Because you were honest and open with him and told him I did. Then he 33:05 listened that that's what I never had a problem that I think a lot of husbands. But 33:08 listen, if the wife was. Expressed, what she really wants do, so to tell that 33:15 makes such a difference. Just I know Greg asking me do this and I love this about Say. 33:22 >> So your heart like when I'm telling we heart, is this the time you just want me to 33:25 listen and hold you? Are you on He's a woman be heard to fix Heard. I want to fix the 33:40 problem. And then other times it's like, no, I really need a solution to do something. But 33:45 I love that because literally say. >> Occasionally want you hold 33:52 you in. Listen. Or is this a time where you need me give you advice? There's times for 33:57 both them and time the open. That's communication meant sometimes when Dave and I were 34:04 talking about different things that we person, maybe work or something it would meet more 34:06 obviously, were kids say. >> D I need to know what time it is.

So talk to us about that. Okay. So I have acts of service acts of 35:25 service just for me since I was a little ice to go to my aunt's house and she used to 35:30 always like eat are she wants something to drink. I still love serving her. 35:34 >> And just picking up her played and I just always felt special doing that. growing up 35:40 and I'm getting married, you know? With my husband, I would go in clean and cook dinner 35:47 and to certain, you know, stuff to make him feel special and everything. But 35:52 >> when I was doing it, I was, you know, I want him to do it back to White making dinner 36:00 and be like, OK, I'm away from cooking dinner and then he'll come up behind me and feel 36:06 like they've ice want can like, do I can't keep your hovering? Burn your food or 36:11 I'll doing dishes. And if you like, kind of get key to stopping community be like, 36:17 I'm trying to keep the kitchen You know, overall the vacuum in itself and later on in life 36:24 as we moved on and he got closer cry. So he gave his heart to God when I started, I 36:31 started actually praying for God to >> help me with Mike because I 36:35 was a Christian and the home. So it's like. >> You know, I'm doing all 36:39 these things. Why some has been helping me like, what am I right? I'm Christian. I 36:44 should be the one praying for my husband should be praying for myself. God, what am I 36:48 doing wrong? We're so quick to put the blame on the other person. And I was very quick 36:54 to be like my son, my husband, you know, taking the trash out. I'm not his mother 36:59 actually have to tell him to do this. He should know to do that you know or why can't he 37:05 come home and cook for me or do the dishes? You know, but as I was praying to God, God 37:09 Open my eyes and said, Angela, what this year has been which what is he like and then when 37:14 you look back, like week. He just wants a hug us right? You just want 5 seconds. You know, 37:22 I care about all the stuff that he could care less. But the house looks like he just 37:27 want my he just it. My husband's very touchy in love and faction it. And he just he 37:32 just loves My husband can sit there for like 5 minutes. he just loves to hug. So when I 37:40 started doing that, it was like a light like us, which light just went on. he's I 37:46 used to come home and he's to do the dishes for little by little things started 37:54 changing, have like, wow, just how something simple like that at the service, but learn each 37:58 other's active service. And that was very special to me as we grew closer price, it just 38:04 came so much better and another thing I like to talk about of act. service is, you 38:11 know, when we're at work, you know how we sit there at work. How were maybe that your 38:19 position, you know, you may see somebody needs help, but you're like, well, that's not 38:23 my job. I don't need to help that person, you know, they know how to do that. But you 38:26 may look at that what they have to do, NT like I can do that. You know, but choose 38:34 have choice. You can choose to or you can choose to turn or a, you know, and what you do. 38:40 Something nice for someone. It's it's amazing how you can make that person day. Just 38:46 change and just show Christ's love someone and also one thing I love to do my husband 38:53 think you've got too many clothes. started giving away my clothes I love giving away 39:02 my clothes and that I have just too many of. And so I give them away. 39:07 >> And I feel like so joyful doing it. It's like I do it. You know, to give them away 39:12 and but when I opened my hand, I bless somebody. It's amazing what God does when he opens 39:18 his and it might have been times like today, Tony, get review close. I'm like I did. 39:23 God just keep blasting me with more. >> it's so true. Like 39:27 everything like anything we it anything we do and love as and >> helping the sick. You know, 39:35 when somebody sick, COVID it's been going around or the flu and us just, you know, we time 39:41 is very precious. But put in in a crock some soup and bring it to some I leave in their 39:47 porch or whatever the case may be. That is so special. And let me tell you, when you help 39:52 other people. How do you feel when you help someone like have you ever helps lame? you 40:02 feel amazing? You you know, you do it for But whose really yeah. night. 40:08 >> We've helped guide tells us to help our neighbors to be kind. Is it really for them? I 40:14 feel like it's more for Yeah, because when I help somebody, I just I get this, joy, this 40:22 is love and joy. I feel so special Godchild. I'm I'm I'm how I'm doing what God called 40:28 unity on being got hands and feet. I just love that. you know, another thing I want to 40:33 talk about is, you know, there's a lot of acts of service that you know, you may 40:39 not be able to afford and my 5. Alright, now there's something in somebody from the 40:46 church, Jamie, something from Turkey. And I want to show that it's a foot mark from 40:52 Turkey. And everyone knows what's going on in And I feel like. If we're able to give 40:59 acts of service, And if we're if we're not prayer is so powerful. you know, we're so 41:07 busy and we're just a pray for you, just pray for you. But to me, really pray for them. You 41:12 know, I have happened my phone, that ID when somebody tells me to pray for somebody 41:17 pray with them, right, right there for all. It can take that app, though. And a pit 41:23 friends and now say what it's for and then my phone has a little thing and then all day 41:28 long, I have a live out to say a little prayer for and just lift them up in prayer one of 41:36 the persons as far as going into, you know, by I want to talk about the best person and 41:44 her second think of is Jesus and demonstrated. Acts of service and who is our example 41:56 Jesus. he modeled servant servant Hood when week when he came to dwell among us as a 41:59 man, he became a servant. the creator became a servant much more so should be servants to 42:09 others. And you know what? My humble in their cells. I feel like it. Some people. Well, we 42:14 need to bore some don't feel like because we have this name behind us or in front of us 42:21 that were better than somebody has guides looks that and so we all should Hummer cells and 42:29 Jesus was always to an act of service. He was he the sick. He was making the blind. he 42:36 was making the lame walk. Hughes just. He was always being about his father's 42:42 business, the man Jesus, the creator. And how much more do we need to be about her 42:46 business a little note that and his most >> act. He did was when he 42:55 died on the cross. you know, that's something we can't You know, we cannot save or so. 43:02 So, Tony, through Jesus. >> That we can be saved. >> And there's somebody else 43:08 in the Bible that I was reading. is like God who ousted him like you're just 43:13 and how everything you did for us. It's just amazing. And then. 43:17 >> How we need to be example. But is another servant you have in the Bible that I can 43:21 talk about and he brought up a string 7 school lesson and he brought up So let's see what 43:28 Joe did in the Bible as acts of service and joked. 29 12, 31 this that if you have a 43:40 what the remnant page I love the Sit there and say that Tate and I'm Joe 29th 12 to 16 43:50 to think that read that because I deliver the poor that cry and the fatherless 43:55 and him that had none to help him. >> The blessing of him that 43:59 was ready to perish came upon me and I caused the widows heart to sing for joy. I put 44:06 on righteousness and it closed me. My judgment was as a robe and a diadem. I was eyes to 44:11 the blind and feet. Was it the I was father to the poor and the cause which I knew not I 44:16 searched out. A man. So Jones didn't simply wait for a beggar to approach He wait for 44:25 someone to hand him out something instead, Joe. >> Proactive in seeking out 44:31 news and acting on them. So he seek out someone that was you mean and I feel like. Lord, 44:38 help me every day, too. Kind to someone in the past and the way that you want me not in a 44:47 way I want to because sometimes we can be selfish. Sometimes we don't have time. 44:52 You know, it's like, oh, that's their problem. But you know what our problem to we're 44:56 all brothers and sisters. We're all going to heaven together are brothers keeper. 45:01 That's right. We are. if we don't perfect or character now, 45:05 >> you know, God wants us to perfect their character. Now I'm going to close Ellen 45:09 White's sister, White says in testimony for the church Value 5 page one. 51 do not wait for 45:16 them. The poor to call your attention to their needs act as did Joe. That thing that he 45:22 knew not he searched out. Go on inspecting Torre and learn what is needed and how it can 45:29 be supplied That's beautiful. Thank you so much, Angela. That's really powerful. Yeah. 45:38 What you references at the end, I really like this. What if our heart becomes 45:43 calloused? Yeah, you know, there's a lot of need in the and sometimes I think. I don't 45:48 know if you've ever experienced this, but I know I have. When you pit it's so 45:53 painful to look at the need. It's so painful to see the hurt that you want to start to 45:57 build a wall. >> Because you're it I don't know. Sometimes. You know, 46:02 when you see people in need or you see people are hurting. You see what people go through 46:05 when you think, wow, I just can't even deal with that. So you want to start to push it 46:11 away? Yeah. So what happens if your heart's calloused? How do you break that down so that 46:15 you will reach out and you will help those in need and you will do those access or 46:21 feel like once you start helping someone and you feel that joy. 46:26 >> There's so many homeless people, place to live in Florida. They're everywhere. 46:32 It's so sad. And some people feel like I'm not give them no money or I'm not giving them 46:35 food or, you know, that's not for us to judge. In my opinion, outgoing, give 46:41 somebody food and now feel like what do you what do you want to eat? Have you even 46:44 today? Most his time they have and have to come. You go a day without eating. 46:48 >> Then you go a day without water. And so just doing one little simple act. You know, I 46:55 feel like God would open your heart and want to do one. >> God will lead to another 47:01 and another. and it yes, see, I think that's the secret. I think our heart gets callous 47:07 because we're looking at the big picture. The overall God is the only one that can I 47:11 don't know how he stands it. I don't know how right. But we. >> What it will in member the 47:17 the little boy's picking up joining the starfish. And they said, well, you can't use I 47:20 well, I could save that one. So you're looking at individuals. You didn't feed 47:25 every home. That's right. And I R a you fed the one that came into your past. And so if 47:32 we start, if we narrow our vision to who can, oh, my goodness as overwhelming, 47:37 there's so much I need that. Who can I health? What is the one person I can help even at 47:43 your local churned, right? Yeah. a pray for you to help them and you may be then the 47:50 answer to their and God using you because you have that connection with how many of 47:54 you that grocery secretly on port. Yeah, absolutely. And that's you know, yeah, I'm a 48:03 church member in a lot of times. We're not aware of our members who are suffering 48:07 because they don't always share right intro. Our Yeah, we've taken church Memphis. 48:16 Shop. Take them in the Ross and say let's buy some things for we pay for somebody. yeah. 48:19 You know, you see somebody. >> They have just a few things and you can tell they don't 48:25 have the money goes further and be like, hey, please pay for this morning must win to 48:30 stay at the open and you can be a secret plan to have to put it on the circumstances 48:34 situated. Some was done that to me when driving through the tollbooth and the person 48:38 ahead, they say keep going. This is Florida person ahead paid full.

That's 6 when a 49:05 228-3975, or you can email us at Life and I B E at 3ABN DOT TV. This is a question. From 49:16 Trinidad and Tobago. What are the best ways a young person can fall in love with Jesus in 49:22 seen his beauty in times like these. I don't know who wants to jump in first, but one of 49:29 the best way someone can fall in love with Jesus and especially a young person. He 49:35 I almost think they should find out with their love languages first and then look 49:39 at the Bible. >> That feeds that particular Loveline region start The 49:45 prayers, the first thing. >> Yeah. When you when you >> talk to the Lord and you 49:51 pray to him and say I want to love you, Lord, show me how help help stir my heart to 49:57 fall in love with you. But acts of service helping other people. When you when you do 50:05 things for someone else to get outside of yourself. So if you're doing 2 different 50:08 things, help others and pray to the Lord and to increase the love in your heart, you 50:14 and show you how to fall in love with him. And I think is a start. Sometimes people just 50:18 want to see lived out. I thinking, you know, some banter, someone, especially 50:25 young people, they they watch everything that we do. If we're saying we're Christian. 50:28 >> They're going to watch everything. I mean, people make mistakes. But I think 50:31 it's when you see a person that's honest about your mistakes. And, you know, that 50:39 would make me want respect And so if someone is learning, God wants to learn more. Serving 50:47 people, that if there's someone the shows that they can ask enter be open. Yeah. 50:54 And as a young person, a lot of young people have a distorted view of love. I want 50:58 to say because of the media. >> And so that is another thing to keep in mind that you 51:04 almost need to look for those role models. Yeah, of when God would see love love to that 51:11 yeah, there's too much out there that I see so many young people on the they love 51:18 language and what's happening in the home is not there. Yeah. And so that is a good 51:23 question because you do need to look for those affirmations of how you see Christ and 51:28 sometimes it is through other Absolutely. This is prayer from Sandra. It doesn't say 51:33 where she's from. I need prayer. I need forgiveness from the Lord. I have been 51:39 unfaithful to him. >> Please pray for me.

This was transformational in my own 52:51 walk with God. When I discovered that I could claim the promises and the word by 52:55 faith and I didn't have to go by how I felt. I don't know how many times I went before. 53:00 God, you know, first 1, 9, it's as if we confess our sins. He is faithful and just 53:04 to forgive and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness the so many times I'd say, but I'm 53:10 not forgiving. It got we forgive me, but but I'm not forgiving God.
