Your Question:
How do I make sure my family's okay when I'm not?
Answer:
As a pastor and a husband, I've learned that making sure my family's okay when I'm not is crucial. It's not always easy, especially with work schedules, athletic practices, and growing social needs competing for our attention. But I've found that by prioritizing our family time and making a conscious effort to stay connected, we can overcome the challenges that come our way. One way we keep our family close is by having a shared mission statement that we read and discuss together regularly. This helps us stay focused on our values and goals as a family, and it gives us a sense of direction and purpose. We also make sure to pray together as a family, covering each other in prayer and seeking God's guidance and wisdom. This has been a game-changer for us, and it's helped us navigate even the toughest challenges. As a parent, I've also learned the importance of setting clear boundaries and consequences for our children. This helps them understand what's expected of them and gives them a sense of security and stability. By being consistent and fair, we can help our children develop good habits and values that will serve them well throughout their lives. And when we're not there to supervise, we can trust that our children have the tools and the support they need to make good choices and stay on the right path.
