  1. "If you want it to be in them, it needs to be in you." Nieuwhof/Joiner. Focus on YOUR character today. sb
  2. Got preschoolers? Got ten minutes? Great giggles are to be had by simply building and knocking over towers...repeatedly. sb
  3. We determined never to hear these words from..our children: "You cared about all the kids of the world, but you forgot about me!" W.Stafford
  4. The most precious thing a parent can give their child is a warm memory. Wess Stafford president @compassion international
  5. @shonbradford fair enough. All I was saying is it was tasteless for a pastor and father. Goodnight.
  6. Every life is a gift from God. Even during hard times when kids drive us nuts. We still need an attitude of gratitude. Even others' kids!#fb
  7. @shonbradford dont see humor in comment with abortion on demand & life being devalued today, thats all. Expect that frm world not Christians
  8. @shonbradford no prob, just didnt seem funny to those unable to have kids. Kids cry, part of life, thats like wishing kid was never born
  9. @shonbradford why would a pastor & father of 3 find that birthcontrol tweet funny? just bcuz a baby was crying on a plane? Sounds heartless
  10. It’s not the highlight-reels that make you a winner. It’s knowing & executing the fundamentals day in and day out. M Merrill #Bethedadtoday
  11. “@playgrounddad: who's got summer plans nailed down?” more play time with the boy!
  12. Make the most of bedtime. They are open and teachable. Talk, Listen, Teach, Review, Express hopes for the next day. #fb
  13. Be mindful that you may win the battle (the point in a conflict) and lose the war (relationship breaks) in the process. Balswick.
  14. Spent an hour playing "diggers" w/ my boy. Came in dirty & happy. Dirt = Love to a boy. Actions speak louder than Words. #fb
  15. Dads, show love to your kids by showing extravagant love to your wife...and extravagant may be just doing the dishes or holding her hand. sb
  16. Dad-ask him when mom says no. -unknown. sb #parenting #bethedadtoday
  17. "...it is easy to forget that you can win the argument and force the right behaviour but lose the heart in the process." Nieuwhof/Joiner. sb
  18. Sometimes you just need to take time off to play with your kids. Pull em in a wagon, chase em in the yard and push em on a swing. sb
  19. "I love you" is often said best thru tickling or hugs, rather than words. #fb
  20. Mornings set the tempo for the entire day... make them meaningful; make them fun! btdt.me #kidmin #parenting #parents #dads #fb
