One Time A Day Challenge

Being a spiritual leader at home is as simple as the power of "1"

 One time a day, doe something really special for your kids' mom.

One time a day, invest in her spiritual well-being.

One time a day, catch your kids in the act of doing something good and tell them about it.

One time a day, tuck your kids into bed and pray with them and read or memorize a Bible verse together.

One time a day, get alone with God.

One time a day, sacrifice something personal for something that benefits your family.

One time a day, ask God to reveal to you anything in your own life that doesn't match your expectations for your kids.

One time a day, forgive completely anyone in your home who has hurt you.

One time a day, say, "I'm sorry," and ask forgiveness for damaging a relationship.

One time a day, help make a child's dream come true.

Total time investment:  One to two hours a day.
Return on investment:  A lifetime of deep, abiding relationships and an eternity to celebrate.
