Being a dad is one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. I have always been a person who was “giving with my time and resources” .. but I could always go home and get away from it all. And if I didn’t want to engage with anyone I did not have to!! With children that is almost impossible. I have learned so much these last almost 3 years. The meaning of selflessness has changed so much for me. Our children need our attention. It’s so easy to get distracted with other things. Too easy. You have to be Intentional with your time with them. The most frustrating moments are when they have no interests in you. You spend all this effort to make sure you have that “special” time with them and they just want to be somewhere else! Really makes me think how God sees me. He Gave me life, forgave me for my past, loves me no matter what, gave His life to have intentional time with me... and yet I can always find something that I’d rather be doing.... sound familiar?!
