This is EXCELLENT. What an important topic. It is worrisome how immature, self-focused and whiny our society is becoming. My husband and I, too, are motivated to raise up mature Christians who know the word, are others focused, can work hard & are not complainers. Lots of good ideas in this video for us to think about as we work towards this goal as well. Thank you for sharing this.
Thanks for your comment! Praise the Lord! Glad to know this encourages you and keep up the good work
