Your Question:
How do I keep my family safe when I'm not there to provide for them?
Answer:
As a husband and father of two, I understand the concern of keeping your family safe when you're not there to provide for them. For me, it's about creating a sense of security and stability that extends beyond my physical presence. I've learned that trust, communication, and mutual support are essential in building a strong family unit. One way to achieve this is by teaching your children important life skills, such as financial management and responsibility. As a pastor, I've seen many families struggle with debt and financial stress, and it's heartbreaking to see the impact it has on their relationships. By teaching your children how to manage their finances, create a budget, and prioritize their spending, you're giving them the tools they need to make wise decisions and stay out of debt. This not only benefits them but also your relationship with them. When I'm away from my family, whether it's for work or other commitments, I like to know that they're safe and secure. I've found that having an open and honest relationship with my wife, Susan, and our children, Joshua and Rebecca, helps to alleviate any concerns I may have. By communicating with them regularly and setting clear boundaries and expectations, I'm able to trust that they'll make good decisions and look out for one another. This sense of trust and security gives me peace of mind, even when I'm not physically present.
