Continually Review Your Priorities

What actually is most important in life? Are there things that are in your life that don’t actually need to be there? Things that take up important time you could spend with your family? We need to be the ones making the priorities happen in our life. We can’t just react to life, we need to be leading in it.

At the beginning of each month, Megan and I have a ‘diary’ night. We sit down and diarize our priorities. Then everything else must fit around those things. Some of our priorities include: A date night every Monday, church on Sundays, church small group meetings on Wednesday night, and a family night at least once a month. We also try to focus on doing something fun specifically with the children on our day off. And as the father, I make sure I’m there every time.

What are the most important things in your family life? Plan those first, then fit everything else around them.
