When your child goes looking for the face of joy and hope in the world
A new impossible goal:
When our son goes looking for the face of joy and hope in the world, he shouldn’t have to look any farther than across the dinner table.
In an effort to keep up with current world developments, have inadvertently over-exposed him to the evening news, particularly CNN’s Situation Room.
Big mistake.

Hear the echo of, “This is probably too difficult”?
Is there an echo in here?
We should behave so that our children (if we are parents) have a real-life example, or as close as humans can get, of what Jesus is like.
Where else will they get this?
Seriously?
Where?
A book, a class, stories?
You’re joking, right?
What if they saw it across the dining room table? Everyday.
If not now, when?
If not ever, why?

What is our major responsibility each day?
What is our major responsibility each day?
To model to our child, children, nieces and nephews how to live gracefully in a world that attacks us from every side.
Life is hard.
Our major responsibility is to show how it’s possible to thrive in spite of this harsh reality.

Unnecessary kindness
(photo: Store window between Apple Store and Mall entrance. Lots of eyes on each of us everyday.)
What is unnecessary kindness?
As adults, we are gifted with the opportunity to be role models every moment of every day.
We can deliver unnecessary kindness as often as we want.
Unnecessary kindness is kindness that if not delivered is not missed.
But we’re adults.
We have endless and daily time pressures, deadlines, responsibilities, etc.
But we can still be “on” all the time.
Zealous?
Maybe zealous, but it will never be considered being on auto-pilot. Ever.
An epiphany last night. Realizing that the way we handle major life milestones may be more important than the outcome itself.
