Best Thinking, Best Attention, Best Mood

from Dad Tired · host Jerrad Lopes

Host or Attend a Dad Tired One Day Conference Who or what gets your best attention, your best thinking, and your best mood?In today’s Dad Tired Daily episode, Jerrad shares a convicting moment from a normal drive to school with his kids. After dropping them off, he realized he had not said a single word to them the entire drive. Not because he was angry. Not because he didn’t love them. But because his mind was consumed with work, stress, responsibilities, and the long list of things he needed to get done.That moment led to a deeper question: are the people God has called us to love getting our best, or just our leftovers?The Bible tells us in Proverbs 4:23 to guard our hearts, and Jeremiah 17:9 reminds us that the heart is deceitful. We may say we value our family, our faith, and our calling, but our attention, mood, calendar, and thoughts often tell the truth.This episode is a simple, honest challenge to pay attention to what is getting the best of you.Ask yourself today:Who gets my best attention?Who gets my best thinking?Who gets my best mood?Are those the people and things God has actually called me to?
