I want you to live your life\u2014including your family life\u2014on purpose. With a plan. On a mission. That\u2019s why I\u2019ve put together the \u201cFamily Manifesto.\u201d A manifesto is like a mission statement. I hope it will inspire you to make the most of the weeks, months, or years you have with the people you call family.<\/p>\n<p>Can you imagine what a difference it would make if we practiced this manifesto every day?<br \/>\nLife won\u2019t always go on the way it does right now, but when we live on purpose, we make the most of the time we do have with the people we love. And in the process, we squeeze all the sweetest juice out of life!<\/p>\n<h4>Hope Like an Anchor<\/h4>\n<p>Change is normal. A lot of change is good. But some changes in our family can shake us to the core.<br \/>\nCancer.<br \/>\nJail time.<br \/>\nSuicide.<br \/>\nDivorce.<br \/>\nYeah, some change feels like a freight train colliding with our chests. Maybe you already know what I\u2019m talking about. Or maybe those kinds of changes haven\u2019t come into your life yet, and I\u2019m glad. But I can\u2019t talk about change and living life on purpose without taking a moment to talk about how we can respond when those hard changes take place.

In fact, she had been looking forward to heaven\u2014being face-to-face with Jesus\u2014ever since she had become a Christ follower at thirty-one years old. When she was sick, one of her favorite verses was Job 19:25-26, written by a man who knew what it felt like to live in pain and sickness, on the brink of death. It says,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>But as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives, and he will stand upon the earth at last. And after my body has decayed, yet in my body I will see God!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As Christians, we know that this life isn\u2019t all there is. We have the hope that even if our loved ones don\u2019t know God when they die, He will work our suffering for His good, to make us more like Christ (see Romans 8:28). And we have God\u2019s promise that He will comfort us in our deepest grief (see 2 Corinthians 1:3-5).<br \/>\nHebrews 6:19 says,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThis hope is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h4>Hope anchors your soul.<\/h4>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4578 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.navpress.com\/sites\/thedisciplemaker\/wp-content\/uploads\/denys-argyriou-219442-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\">Have you ever been sailing? I played around on a catamaran one summer, and though my nautical knowledge is pretty slim, I do understand the wind\u2019s power against a sail. (Said wind may have tipped my tiny vessel plum over, dumping an embarrassed me right into the water\u2014fully clothed.) A sailboat is at the mercy of the wind, waves, and currents of the ocean. If a powerful storm blows in, even a trained sailor can be helpless against it. God bless the person who invented anchors! An anchor does for a sailor what he can\u2019t do for himself: hold steady. Stay put. Ride out the storm. Having an anchor is the only way a boat can hold still on the constantly moving and changing surface of the water.<br \/>\nAn anchored soul\u2014now, that would be pretty revolutionary, don\u2019t you think?<br \/>\nThe only reason I didn\u2019t shipwreck when I lost my mom to cancer is because my heart was anchored to God. I held steady when the waves crashed over my head because I knew the hope of the gospel.<br \/>\nI don\u2019t know what kind of life-altering changes you might face (or have faced) in your family. But I do know this: If hope anchors your soul, no storm will ultimately shipwreck you. That doesn\u2019t mean you won\u2019t feel as if your boat is breaking to bits from the force of the waves! But your faith has the ability to hold you steady when the storms hit. Notice I said when. Storms will hit, and some of them will hit hard. But God has promised to see you through (see Philippians 1:6), and He never goes back on His word. As long as you look to Him, your ship\u2014your life\u2014won\u2019t sink, even when life as you know it changes forever.<br \/>\nIf you\u2019re facing (or have faced) a deep loss in your life, I recommend Elisabeth Elliot\u2019s excellent book <em>A Path through Suffering: Discovering the Relationship Between God\u2019s Mercy and Our Pain<\/em>.
