What if we met people where they’re at rather than where we want them to be?
What if we used this time of being home with our family, this time of putting schedules and pickups and activities on hold, to really learn each other better?
How much more purposeful would life be if we silenced the distractions getting in the way of what matters most?
Saying, “No” usually frees up the family for a greater, “Yes” – family board game nights, time to host friends, kids actually enjoying their presents, etc. – you’ll never regret.
Today, it struck me how important it is for our generation to get off our phones and show our kids how to love well.
Maybe it’s how we remember summer when we grew up, what we see friends doing, or what worked last year, but there so many lies telling us our summer isn’t measuring up.
Losing my phone made me realize how our rushed, social media-centric, to-do list way of living is such an impediment to being present now.
