My pastor had an interesting message this morning for Father's Day. He talked about how important dads are in the lives of their kids... whether they are still married to their kids' mom or not. He encouraged all the dads (and moms) to truly spend time with their children, because that one thing--spending time, giving our children our complete, undivided attention--is one of the two most important things that will keep them from falling into the "statistics" that are out there about single parent families. The other is teaching them about the Lord and teaching them to rely on Him.
Today, tomorrow, and every day, when your child comes up to you to talk to you, stop what you're doing and look at them when they talk to you. Give them your attention. And when you have to discipline them, make sure that they know that you love them.
Now, because my oldest daughter has gotten me hooked on this song that she heard at church camp last week, here is a song for your Sunday. Enjoy!
