This means, each day, I will communicate with Him through prayer and reading His word. It means, before I make plans for others and other things, I will make time for Jesus. Just 15 minutes a day will help me understand what she needs from me, so that we get to the heart of an issue. I also need to let her know what this 15 minutes is for. It's NOT for a gripe session.
Kids love to learn from fathers more than anyone else in the world.
The greatest lessons I ever learned from my Dad was when he blew it, we all knew it, and he told us about it honestly. Kids need to see that Dad is not always right, so they can see how we resolve the issue. If they see us running to God to find the answer, their confidence will grow in God AND in us. The world is hurting. Your best friends that are abusing their wives, cheating the system, neglecting their children, drinking too much, and not puting in an honest day's work, are doing so because they don't know the love of God.
