Sunday was a super day!  We had a great time at church, and I got a new Father’s Day coffee mug from my kids.  My brother-in-law sang a wonderful song for us during the service.  He wrote the song about the encouragement that he received from his parents.  His parents were there to hear him sing, too.  Their belief in him continues to help him achieve great things.

This week I will attempt to be more encouraging to my family. When I’m encouraged I know that I strive to be a better father and husband.  Doesn’t it make sense that our spouses and kids will be more loving with more encouragement?

Maybe that’s why the Bible says that the man who loves his wife (provides and protects, loves and leads her to Jesus) really loves himself.  When we encourage our families, we reap the benefits of having an encouraged family.

I hope you’ll consider how you can provide for and protect your family’s future with a little encouragement this week.

We recorded Brian as he sang for us Sunday, “nothings-too-big.”  Take a listen, and don’t forget about your Home Team’s second meeting this week.  Also remember that Family Day Camp is this Sunday.
