We’ve counted this week to be family week in our household. It is the last week before the children return to school. Today pa amusement park day, and tomorrow is beach day. We know that we will be exhausted by the end of the week (both physically and financially) but its worth it. My wife and I believe that our family is worth it.
It is often too simple for leaders to neglect spending quality time with family for the sake of organizational success. This is a mistake. As leaders we have to understand that the ministries, businesses, and organizations we serve cannot be used as excuses to neglect the needs of our families. Our spouses and children need, and should receive consistent attention. If we understand what our organizations look like when we neglect them, then we should see that our families are no different. Go spend some time.
