Be The Dad Today

When is the last time YOU laughed so hard it hurt?

When is the last time your KIDS laughed so hard they cried?

When is the last time you got so silly your WIFE yelled at you?

That is when you score truly big points with the kids! Silliness is next to godliness when it comes to your children! A silly dad is better than a cool dad any day! Making faces, dressing up, doing things incorrectly, falling down or out of your chair says you are able to laugh at yourself.

As dads we want to look like we are in charge. Relax. They KNOW you are in charge. What they want to know is if you can chill and have a little fun. Well, can you?

Act like a kid for a change!

The Apostle Paul said in the Bible:

To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some.
– I Corinthians 9:22

In other words – he was willing to change, to become like those he wanted to reach – in order to connect with them. He never betrayed who he was, but he was willing to adapt and adjust to make a connection with those he wanted to relate to.

Do you want to connect with your kids?

Do you want to relate to your kids?

Then lighten up! Get silly! Have fun and goof off! Don’t be so stinkin’ serious all the time.
