It is our responsibility not only to defend our family but also to build a place of refuge in our homes.

A place where we maintain discipline, order, and trust and an atmosphere where-

-Vulnerability is treasured

-Honesty is expected

-Failure is acceptable

-Challenges are encouraged

-Unconditional love is demonstrated

How do we create this atmosphere?

-Explaining plans and contingencies - build a feeling of security and trust

-Delegating responsibilities - gives purpose

-Challenging and encouraging - builds confidence

-Intentional time reading, talking, playing games, wrestling, etc. - show love

-Difficult times (minimize sheltering) - build character and grit

-Allowing them to express concerns and fears - builds trust

Leverage this time of chaos outside of your castle to build confidence in God, you, and in your family unit.

Stay healthy and fight for those you love.

Hold Fast and God Bless
