A man has the greatest influence in a family by 75% of the structure and influence, stated by Dr. James Dobson.
I was a single Mom for many years. I decided that when my son and daughter were in their teens, they would challenge my authority and beliefs. As a Christian, I told them that they thought I was teaching them something wrong, they could show me in the Bible, and I would change. If they could not, then, the rules stood firm. It caused my children to go to the Bible and search for answers to derail me. My children used God’s authority over mine. They learned. We discussed it. God was first. I was second. They were third. We lived in line of authority and it kept peace in the house.
Remember the lost little boys, when you come home.
You can help each other get well, until you can take your places again.
Oh, by the way, women will gladly relinquish their total responsibility when men step in and help leadership, again.
So:
God be with you while you are far away.
Tell America’s sons we cry when you’re away.
Stand up and be strong,
We’re waiting while your gone.
We are willing and wanting to say,
Welcome home again.
