A child's heart- What means most?

The other day I was talking with my Dad, and then I asked him "Dad, do you know what my greatest childhood memory is?". Not to my surprise, he said "No, what is it?" I told him it was the memory of riding with him in the truck to collect his paycheck. He was completely shocked. He asked "How? Why would it be that? Didn't you like the other things we did like going to the lake, baseball, etc.?" I simply replied "It's just the one that meant the most to me". That did get me thinking though..Do we really understand what our children are seeking from us? They want something money cannot buy, and that is our TIME. It's a relationship that demands contributed time and energy. If you are forsaking time with your children to buy them more "things" maybe there is a better way.

Turning daily phrases into Love notes

Men, consider the difference in the following: 
1)"That dress is beautiful" vs. "Wow, YOU make that dress look beautiful"
2)"Are you having a good day?" vs. "Tell me about your day"
3)"Do you need anything at the store" vs. "What can I get you while I'm at the store"

One says we're meeting the minimum, but the other says we really care. Make a difference in the way your wife feels daily with only a few word changes. I encourage you to find all of those casual phrases and turn them into uplifting love notes that show you care.

The job no man wants that women line up to volunteer for

If you were looking for a new career and saw the following post, would you click on it to express interest?

JOB OPENING: No pay, 7 day work week, no vacation, little support, no recognition, no advancement opportunity, strenuous, multi-tasking is a must, no benefits, must be able to lift 25+ lbs continuously, many nights required, on call 24/7, counseling experience a plus. Must have patience and be willing to sacrifice your personal time when needed. Overtime is a requirement with no pay.

Does this sound like an interesting job? Well, I would run from it; but my wife does it with a smile. Men, thank your wives and mothers because they perform jobs we cannot. Ladies, may the Lord bless you and give you the strength daily to perform a job no man would ever apply for. I know I left much out, but truly the list of duties for a wife and mother are endless.
