I wish I spent more time working!

No one ever said on their deathbed, "I wish I had spent more time at work". The cliche was then followed by "they always wish they had spent more time with their family." I came across this recently reading a book where it was a determining factor in a young dad turning his focus from himself and his desires toward what he was called to do. How easy it is for us to get caught up in one thing and neglect another. What about your family, the unit that speaks louder than words. Here are five helpful ways that I want to invest in my family and I hope you will too.

1. Spend quality time together (dinner) without distractions i.e phones, tvs, computers....
2. Build each other up with words of affirmation.
3. Husbands love your wives, wives respect your husbands.
4. Parents lead, teach, instruct and hold your children accountable in word and action
5. Children honor your father and mother.

May your family be richly blessed and speak loud and clear.

Matt
