Good morning my “Walking with Jesus” friends, How do you respond when your children or grandchildren, or someone you care about very much, makes wrong decisions or even chooses a life path that is contrary to what you know is right or God honoring?

Hello, my ‘Walking with Jesus’ friends on this first Monday of November.
