7 Ways to Know You are Being a Good Father

7 ways to know you are being a great father

 

1. When your son or daughter comes running to you when they get hurt

2. When you really listen to your children

3. When your calendar is full of things to do with your children

4. When you calmly and gently discipline your children without yelling or screaming

5. When you tuck your children into bed at night and tell them “I love you”

6. When you help your kids with their schoolwork

7. When you teach your children absolute truths

Take a moment tonight and ask your children how they know that you love them.

    My wife and I have started doing a children’s devotional with our daughter every night during bedtime.  The routine is something like thanking God for something that happened during the day, reading the devotional, then praying to God our prayers.  I feel like this has really brought our family closer together.

    Mark what a convicting and great list! What a great reminder as it is easy to lose sight of what is important. My wife and I have four kids and I know so many of the things in the list can be tough to stay on top of.

    Thanks,
