Your Question:
How do I face my kids when I'm struggling to pay bills?
Answer:
As a father of two young adults, Joshua and Rebecca, I've learned that facing them when struggling to pay bills requires honesty and guidance. It's essential to teach them basic biblical and practical concepts about the stewardship of finances, such as making a budget, sticking to it, and staying out of debilitating debt. I want them to understand the importance of paying bills on time and making wise decisions about credit and debit card offers. To instill these values, I've made it a point to involve them in household chores and teach them the value of earning money for a job well done. This way, they'll appreciate the hard work that goes into earning money and develop an attitude of gratitude. I also make sure to have open and honest conversations with them about money, explaining that everything we have comes from God and that we're just trustworthy stewards. By teaching them to give joyfully and be good stewards, I hope they'll develop a healthy relationship with money. As a pastor, I've seen firsthand the impact of financial struggles on families. It's not just about money; it's about the values and principles we teach our children. By being transparent, involved, and patient, I hope to raise Joshua and Rebecca to be financially wise and responsible adults who will make good decisions and honor God with their finances.
