On Father's Day I read an article about Tom Izzo, MSU's basketball coach. He said that his coaching style or approach has changed over the years, especially since he became a dad. Being a dad has given Tom a different perspective on the "boys" on his basketball team.
For some we just transfer the business skills we have acquired into some form of parenting. We create goals, objectives and endless "To Do" lists for ourselves and kids. We measure our success as parents based on how full our kids' days are. God forbid that our kids would ever be "bored."
What if God wants to use this period of our lives to transform us? What if being a parent could really draw you closer to God? What if the best thing you could do for your kids is to throw away the "To Do" list?
Take a few minutes to reflect on how you have already changed since you have become a parent. If you are not a parent, how have your interactions with kids changed your perspective on things?
