While talking with my friend Kendall this evening, I heard a new approach to family time.
When Kendall was growing up, his father took a job that was 6 hours from their home. Kendall and his sister were established in their school and their dad did not want to uproot them for the sake of his job.
The solution was that daddy commuted on Sunday, and came home on Friday. Obviously, the weekends became a priority for family time and everyone made it work.
Kendall is a great guy and I am blessed to call him a friend and dear Brother in the Lord. It’s clear that the focus on family created a man of character.
Building the Foundations
The family is the cog that moves a society towards stability or chaos. We have a lot of near chaos scenarios in our world, and a lot of individuals in need of some peaceful times.
***I am curious to know what you do as a family to build something lasting.***
In my family, we congregated around sports with our dad and learned to lead and follow based on his example.
For some of my cousins, farming and the 24/6 work ethic it nurtures in a family was how they grew into a solid pillar in the community.
What are some habits you did or are practicing in order to create a thriving family?
