"Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from him." - Psalm 127:3
I love that I can count on you all for some great memes. Social media keeps me in stitches most days, but since social distancing has become the norm, you all have stepped up your game. I truly thank you.
As our kids and us have been forced into homeschooling, you all have not disappointed:
"And just like that corporal punishment and prayer are back in school"
"I am getting really tired of watching my parents' grandkids."
"Do you go to the refrigerator at school? Umm, No! Use your school stomach."
"Homeschooling is going well. 2 suspended for fighting and 1 teacher fired for drinking on the job."
All joking aside, instead of focusing on the negative aspects and inconveniences of the pandemic, we should focus on our blessings. We get to choose how we respond to extra family time. We get to be together as families. We have been forced to slow our crazy lives down.
I remember being a brand new dad almost 18 years ago and having the generation before me tell me how fast time with our children passes. Now as my princess is a senior in high school, I tell young fathers the same thing. Cherish every moment with your loved ones. Embrace forced family time. Cook, play, laugh, binge watch, sing, workout, create, and dream together! Enjoy the noise. Truly make memories. It won't be long before they're grown and gone. The Good Lord tells us that they are a blessing. It's time we start believing and living it.
-Be Blessed,
