Neʼe ui fenei e Ian ʼae kua taʼu hogofulu ia tana kua toe ʼohoana: “Neʼe mole pe la heʼeki tapuʼi mai e toku ʼohoana ko Kaitlyn ia taku palalau ʼo ʼuhiga mo toku ʼuluaki ʼohoana. Kaʼe neʼe feala ai ke mahino ki toku aluʼaga ʼi te temi nei.” Ko te taʼi ʼu faipalalau ʼaia ʼe feala ke ina fakamalohiʼi ʼakotou felogoʼi mo tokotou hoa.

Kotou tokagaʼi tafitō ia te ʼu kalitate ʼo tokotou ʼohoana ʼaeni. ʼE mahino ia, ʼe lagi mole ina maʼu ia te ʼu kalitate peʼe ko te ʼu fealagia ʼo tokotou ʼuluaki ʼohoana, kaʼe ʼe lagi ʼe ʼi ai hona tahi ʼu kalitate.

(Kalate 6:4) Ohage ko tona ui e Edmond ʼae neʼe toe ʼohoana: “ ʼE mole he ʼu fakakaumeʼa ʼe lua ʼe tatau, koia ʼe mole he ʼu ʼohoana ʼe lua ʼe tatau.”

ʼE lava feafeaʼi hakotou mole fakamaʼuhigaʼi fau ia takotou ʼuluaki nofo ʼohoana? ʼE ui e Jared neʼe ina leleiʼia te ʼu meʼa ʼae neʼe nā fai mo tona ʼuluaki ʼohoana, pea ʼi ʼihi temi ʼe ina toe manatuʼi. Kaʼe ʼi te temi nei, kua maʼuli fiafia ia mo tona lua ʼohoana.

ʼE manatuʼi e Javier, ʼae neʼe toe ʼohoana hili ki ai taʼu ʼe ono ʼi tana ʼosi mavete: “ ʼI te hili pe ʼo tamā ʼohoana, neʼe hage ki toku ʼohoana ʼe ʼahiʼahiʼi ia ia e ʼihi ʼo ʼoku kaumeʼa.” ʼE fakamatala fenei e Leo: “Neʼe ui age e ʼihi hahaʼi ki toku ʼohoana, kaʼe ʼe au tuʼu pe, ʼe natou leleiʼia tona ʼuluaki ʼohoana.”

TOKONI ʼAOGA: Kotou faiga ke kotou mahino ki ʼokotou kaumeʼa. Neʼe ui fenei e Ian: “ ʼE au mahalo, ʼe faigataʼa ki te ʼu kaumeʼa hanatou sisio pe ki he tokotahi ʼo te taumatuʼa ʼae neʼe natou feʼiloʼiʼaki.” Koia kotou “fakapotopoto, pea mo fonu i te agamalu” kia natou ʼaia. (Tito 3:2) Kotou tuku he temi ki ʼokotou kaumeʼa pea mo tokotou famili ke natou fakamamahani ki te aluʼaga foʼou ʼaia. Koteʼuhi ʼae neʼe kotou toe ʼohoana, ʼe lagi fetogi anai mo ʼokotou kaumeʼa.

TOLU FIHIFIHIA: ʼE FAIGATAʼA TAKOTOU TOE FALALA KI HE TAHI.

Neʼe ui fenei e Andrew, ʼae neʼe liakī e tona ʼohoana: “Neʼe au mataku naʼa toe liakī au. Ki muli age, neʼe au toe ʼohoana mo Riley. Neʼe au feʼuiʼaki pe ʼe lelei age anai taku aga ʼi ʼae ʼo te ʼuluaki ʼohoana ʼo Riley. Neʼe au mataku naʼa mole ina leleiʼia au pea fokifa kua alu mo he tahi age.”
