Listen "Daily Dads #201: Parenting with the End in Mind"
Episode Synopsis
Daily Dads #201
How many times have we told ourselves, "We’ll do that vacation next year," or "I’ll spend more time with the kids after this work project is done"? But what if next year doesn’t come, or the kids outgrow the desire to do it? The Robert Southwell poem from the meditation today is a sobering reminder: life is short, and we need to focus on what truly matters right now.
As parents, it’s easy to get lost in the stress of daily life - work deadlines, errands, the news. But when we step back, we realize the most important thing is being with our kids and making memories while we can.
