Prodigal: I am enjoying the time we have.

Me: That is the key.

This is from the book Stories of the Heart and Home by Dr. James Dobson.

Our daughter is growing up in the wickedest section of a world much farther gone into moral decline than the world into which you were born. I have observed that the greatest delusion is to suppose that our children will be devout Christians simply because their parents have been, or that any of them will enter into the Christian faith in any other way than through their parent’s deep travail of prayer and faith. But this prayer demands time, time that cannot be given it it is all signed and conscripted and laid on the altar of career ambition. Failure for you at this point would make mere success in your occupation a very pale and washed-out affair, indeed.

How did you make spouse and children a priority today. With out putting them first some days, then all days mean they will remain at the bottom. Your job is to train them and this can only be done in their presence.

Philippians 2:3

Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.

Jennifer Van Allen
