6 good words

I’m team-teaching an adult elective class at my church right now on the hurried family. The guy I’m teaching with was talking about the importance of making your time at home really count. A few weeks ago he said, “When you’re there, be there.” Those are six good words, agree?

I’ve had a hard time getting away from those words the past few weeks. Here’s how I’ve applied it to my life at home.

1. I will wait until Luci goes to sleep before I crack open my laptop.

2. I will give Beth and Luci my undivided attention.

3. My day off will really be a day off. In other words, I’ll do everything in my power not to work on church and ministry stuff.

4. I’ll really be the spiritual leader in my home and not just talk about it.

5. I’ll put my family first.
