#914: Prioritizing Punctuality

You glance at the clock. It’s 9:17 a.m. “Hurry up!” you holler from the kitchen. “Church starts in less than 15 minutes!”Your kids dash from room to room, grabbing their Bibles, their shoes, and maybe even a Pop-Tart. Then you’re out the door and in the car. Yet despite your best race car driving skills, you’re late to church—again.Can you relate to this? Do you find yourself constantly late to work, medical appointments, or other activities? Even though life is busy, make punctuality a priority. Show your son, through action, how to organize his time. Of course, this isn’t easy. But through careful planning, you’ll demonstrate that preparation helps life run more smoothly. Plus, when you’re on time for church, all the back pews aren’t already taken.For more encouragement and parenting advice, visit Trail Life USA or RaisingGodlyBoys.com.
