Your kids don't care about your title..

Over the last 20 or so years I have met people who come from all different occupations and backgrounds. As I get to know these people better to find out what they do for a living I am always amazed at how important some of these people that I have met REALLY are important.

These people are company executives, presidents of corporations, founders of non-profit groups and people who " on the outside " look like they have it all together.

What I am more amazed about is the lack of existence with their own families. These executives are so married to their status that they have lost touch with their spouse or even more importantly the relationship that they are missing with their children.

About 10 years ago I heard a speaker from Bill Glass Ministries talk to our church. This ministries group takes volunteer men to prisons to minister to other men who are in jail. They told us that 95% of the men who are in prison have one thing in common and that is the lack of a Father figure when they were growing up.

So my question to you is this:  Which do you think is more important to your kids - the title that you have at your job or the amount of time that you spend with your kids ?

Bottom line is your kids don't care how important you are. All they care about is how important you make them feel.
