Well, I started the new year asking the family what my problems are... yes, they had a loooong list. It was not easy to hear. But just like God gives us a second chance (over and over again) I'm hoping that I'll get a second chance at being a better dad and husband.
The pressures of life and providing for my family get overwhelming sometimes and that comes out in ways I don't like. I'm irritated more, short with the kids, little things seem like big things. You know, you may have been there too.
But I really want to be good at my parent and spouse roles so taking a listen once in awhile hurts, might make you cry, but in the end hopefully there is a new you for a new year.
I don't know if I'll improve or not - but I'll try and that will be an interesting part of the Real Life I have found in Jesus. It's not easy being like Him, but trying is the goal.
Happy New You (ME) New Year!
Thoughts on the Bible, Church, life and living it to its full potential in Jesus Christ!

Whatever shortcomings you might have as a parent, you are passionate about the job and you have always made time for your children. That is just about as important as anything.
