Parents, Redeem Today

Head photo of faded clock for a post encouraging parents to use their time wisely with their kids.
Our baby son just turned one, so I'm finally emerging from a year of little sleep. The world outside our home is very topsy turvy these days.

I’ve been seeing a lot of posts with tips and resources for those who've been thrust into a stay-at-home parent role. Those things are good and helpful.

But I can’t shake the nagging thought that the biggest advantage of being a stay-at-home parent is being missed. And that advantage is how many opportunities you have in the mundane moments of life to invest in your kids’ souls.

If I could sit down with you right now I’d want to know how you’re doing. What has been hard? What things are scary? And how can I be praying for you?

But I’d also want to leave you encouraged that God is with you and plead with you to use the time with your kids wisely.

This week I keep coming back to two thoughts about how to redeem the time you have with your kids. These thoughts are what I want to share with you today. But first, a reality check.
