Your Question:
How am I going to take care of my kids?
Answer:
As a father of two young children, Joshua and Rebecca, I've come to realize that taking care of them is not just about providing for their physical needs, but also about nurturing their spiritual and emotional growth. To do this, I've learned that it's essential to be present in their lives, to listen to them, and to guide them in the ways of the Lord. This means being there for them 24/7, helping them develop into the people God wants them to become, and encouraging them to make choices that align with our values. One way I've found to be more intentional in my parenting is to model the behavior I want to see in my children. This means being a good example of a Christian, loving my wife, Susan, and being accountable to God. When my children see me loving and serving others, they are more likely to do the same. I also try to involve them in our community service, whether it's volunteering at a local homeless shelter or participating in a church outreach program. This helps them develop a sense of compassion and responsibility towards others. As my children grow older, I'm learning to adjust my role from being the authority figure to being a guide and mentor. I'm praying for God to give me wisdom and discernment as I navigate this new stage of parenting. I'm also making sure to prioritize quality time with my children, doing things together like playing baseball (Joshua loves the Cubs, just like me!) or reading science fiction novels (Rebecca's favorite author is J.K. Rowling). By doing so, I'm building a strong relationship with them and helping them develop a strong foundation in their faith.
