“Money can’t buy the joy I feel when I get home and my son gives me a big hug. I can’t believe God has blessed me with such a wonderful boy.”
Nothing can match the joy of spending time with our children.

“I’m always on the run with three kids and a demanding part-time job. Still, I make a point to schedule special one-on-one time with each child. Last night I felt like collapsing after an especially frantic day. When I got to bed, however, I found a delightful poem on my pillow. At the end, it said, ‘We love you, Mommy!’”
“I was working on an important assignment for a client when my son walked into my home office and asked me how to build a tepee. I decided to take a quick 10-minute break to show him how. When he crawled into our makeshift contraption and sat down, you should have seen the smile on his face.”
Nothing can match the joy, delight and contentment of spending time with our children. Those rewards will be missed, however, if we fail to heed these warning signs:
1. The dangers of “routine panic.”
2. The risks of living on two incomes.
3. The challenges of single parenthood.
Thankfully, you (and your spouse) can choose a less
hectic lifestyle. You can’t make all the necessary changes this week. But you can outline a game plan.
