Do not be complacent knowing that you are doing what is required of you. Go above and beyond. Sacrifice a bit of sleep, a bit of personal time, a conversation with a peer. Sacrifice those things in order to be more for these kids. Do more than what you have to do. Give every bit of you to show these kids Christ's love.
This has really been convicting me this past week as I have been tired and not feeling 100%. It is so easy to only put in the amount of effort you have to. To sit on your bed while the girls are getting ready. To cut conversations short in order to get to bed earlier. To tell your kids to hang on while you talk to a friend. It's so easy. But we have to overcome those temptations to be more for these kids. They deserve every bit of us, and it is our role to be that for them. Don't just do your job to say you've done it. Do more than that in order to give these precious children the experience they deserve.
