CoT:
Once you have children, your life changes.

You begin to do things differently in an effort to care for, provide and guide your children. Of all those things, a father can do one thing that will provide the greatest impact on his children’s lives.

The single greatest thing a dad can do for his children is to love their mother. Plain and simple!

When the kids see dad loving mom, they see what love looks like.

Your sons will know how to relate to women as they grow older. Your daughters will know how a man should talk to her and how a man should treat her. Nothing less will be acceptable.

Loving your children’s mother frees her to love and nurture them, and know their love languages too. Your love encourages and inspires her to do so in the best way she can. Nothing should be allowed to get in the way of this love being expressed to them. Now the love of your children is exponential, and you are having an impact well beyond your marriage.

Simple; Not Easy.

THE THANG: Partner A Farmer Carries two cinder blocks, Partner B bear crawls. Partners swap tasks when the farmer carrier gives up. Simple. Do this all the way around Lake Braddock Secondary School. Not Easy. MARY: Ring of fire calf raises with the cinder block. Missed you today, Pop. ANNOUNCEMENTS: 9/11 Stair Climb, Dads Camp
COT: Most things that you should do in life are simple: Eat the apple instead of the Oreo. Go to bed at a decent hour. Those things aren’t always easy. Today’s beatdown was simple, but not easy. Having a friend/fellow/partner with you made it easier. Don’t be afraid to reach out for help to make those simple choices easier.
