(July 15-19)
Family dynamics are constantly changing. First you have to get used to living with someone, having them always there. Then, just as soon as you've adjusted to that (and sometimes sooner), you bring a kid into the mix. You have to learn how to take care of that kid, and then another kid (who, for some reason, isn't identical to the first one), and so on...and then, they start leaving, and your family is changing once again. In my family we haven't had to deal with divorce or remarriage because of a death, and I pray we never will go through that trial. But our family dynamic will indeed change, and it's going to take a lot of prayer and effort to know how to handle those changes.
Our final lesson was beautifully simple. We watched a video from The Piano Guys of their duet "Love Story meets Viva La Vida" (watch here), and analyzed it as a metaphor for an aging family. How are the two performers like a married couple? We came up with a lot of ideas, but I'm most interested in hearing what you guys think, so please leave a comment :)
I'm so grateful I had the opportunity to be in this class. I have learned so much, and I treasure the things I've learned from Brother Williams. I hope you've all enjoyed following the blog, and I hope you can get just a portion of what I've gained from taking this class. Thanks for following!
