Ohana (Family)

Ohana means family - no one gets left behind and no one is ever forgotten. - Chris Sanders

I’m starting 2019 with a study of Proverbs.  As Boyd Bailey says, “Wisdom is what every God-fearing person wants. The Lord has put in the heart of His disciples a desire to live with His perspective.”  For my study, I’m using The Navigators’ LifeChange Series: A life-changing encounter with God’s Word from the book of Proverbs and Boyd Bailey’s Two Minutes in the Bible Through Proverbs.

January’s Blog focus is on “Family.”  Solomon knew that God designed the family and that each member has certain responsibilities to help it run smoothly.  Solomon urged husbands and wives, parents and children, to govern their relationships according to wisdom.

I like Chris Sanders’ quote above—he was best known for co-writing and directing Disney’s Lilo & Stitch in 2002.  We loved that movie and still recall Stitch’s words, “Ohana means family.”

This coming weekend, we’ll celebrate the life of my grandmother, Mano (click here for my tribute to her).  With her passing, my family roles no longer include “Grandson”; now, I’m a Son, Brother, Husband, and Father.

Click here for Proverbs on all four of those roles.
