Merry Christmas to all! Most of us are lucky to be spending the holidays with our families, people we should truly value. Tony Dungy had some great thoughts in his second book, "Uncommon", about how we should love our families. Most of them are directed toward adult men but everyone can apply these in your own life.
1. Be a leader around your home, but lead for the benefit of your wife and children, not your own benefit.
2. Give your wife breaks from her daily responsibilities.
3. Make memories.
4. Keep your vows sacred. Sometimes better comes AFTER worse.
5. If you are not married, be careful in selecting a spouse. It is one of the most important decisions you will ever make.
6. Be present with your family - emotionally and physically.
7. Be careful what you say and do.
8. Write notes to your children.
9. Honor those in authority over you.
10. Be careful with authority and influence that you've been entrusted with.
11. If you can't come to grips with your parents and your past, find a professional to walk with you through it.
