Weekend Kindness
Reaching Others Through Kindness

One of the toughest things I feel as a parent is the constant gaze of my children.  They see me at my best and at my worst.  They know when I’m upset, and when I’m overtired.  They have expectations that I can either meet or fail to meet.

And all these things can be a part of the person that they become.

Especially when it comes to dads and daughters.  I’m learning through Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters and through experience with my own daughter that I’m a special person in her life.  And I see how she, even at this age, reacts to other men.

This brings home what D is for Dad states clearly:

How you treat the women in your life will have a huge influence on how your little girl will expect to be treated by the men in her life.

How do we treat one another?  Husbands?  Wives?  The Bible says that were to love one another– in honor preferring one another.  Is that what they see?

That doesn’t just mean at church and on each other’s birthdays.  That means everyday, day in and day out.  How are you modeling what you want your children to become?
