This morning was what I needed. We may not have pushed as hard as we could, but we made time for conversation and laughs. We have what so many men don’t – friends, fellowship, and an outlet that allows for fun before we have to get corporate and serious. We might as well have been middle schoolers in gym glass today. Stories, laughs, a little work, but a lot of fun.
We talked about the joys and perils of the season. We’ve reached the part in the year between Christmas and New Year’s where we’re not sure what day it is. We’ve probably gained a pound or five and we’re starting to adjust to the extra volume of things and noise in our homes.
But, be aware with increased time with loved ones, patience can wear thin and tempers can flare. Step back, take a breath, and watch your tongue. We cannot underestimate the impact we have on our families as present dads.
I encourage you to keep this going through the new year. Fun is the secret ingredient to great fatherhood.
Aye!
