press Pause TODAY, Give my Family My Time and Undivided Attention

FACT: We are not promised tomorrow. 

Give your family the most precious valued gift you have...your UNDIVIDED time. 

Just Press Pause. Watch a movie, play a board game, take a walk, giggle  "together" WITHOUT your phone, computer, or iPad invading. Yep, I'm serious. Really! You will live without those things for a few hours. In exchange, you will plant seeds of value, honor, respect, and great love by giving the gift of your time. 

I promise the next text, Facebook in-box, and email will NOT disappear before you get to it. And, you have voice-mail on your phone FOR A REASON.  

Why is giving your undivided time too great a price to freely give to spouse and kids? We let the urgent get in the way of the important. We fail to plan. Choosing to ignore the fact that our family need to feel valued and cherished DAILY will drastically impact your relationship and their future families. 

You have voice message service for a reason.

Be intentional when you get home this evening... 

Be careful how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise, making the most of your time, because the days are evil. (Ephesians 5:15-16)

(KJV: See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil.)

If you don't take charge of your calendar, someone else will.
