HOW I CARE FOR MY FAMILY?

INTRODUCTION

Many people are busy with jobs, managing the house and other activities involved with, and you will agree with me that it is easy to lose sight of your family in the midst of this busy days. How many times have we heard ourself saying I should have phoned my dad but I've not had the time. We all are in the same boat and if we are consciously aware of who we are forgetting some will fall out of our lives.

My family

These are the few things I do in caring for my family :

👉 I tell them how much they mean to me and that I love them so much and I did this often times.

👉 I visits my family members I don't stay together with surprisingly to show that i am thinking about them.

👉 I call my mum and dad and other members at least once a week and this makes me miss them if I do not.

👉 I sent text message to my hubby and call many times, I make time for my children, my kids are the most important people in the world, i take time out to play with them, even half an hour a day, when they play, I ask them to show me how to play, when they are watching cartoons I sit with them and try to live in their world because i know they need attention all the time.

My hubby

👉 I surprise my hubby and kids by doing something something different from the usual with them, give flowers toys, new shoes and dress for no reason, it's another way for me to say, I love them and I love the fact that they're my own.

👉 I spend time with my family alone to show them that I like them and nothing is better than spending time alone with them.

👉 I flirt with my hubby to keep him interested with me always, marrying him for years doesn't means I should stop flirting with him.

👉 I eat with my family everyday at least dinner because it is a great opportunity to talk, know how each other is feeling, and to be with each other, this make us grow strong.

I always feel happy and satisfied at least I've given my family something better. They always feel happy too and cherish me.

DO I SOMETIMES FAIL TO CARE FOR MY FAMILY? WHAT RESULTS WHEN I NEGLECT THAT RESPONSIBILITY?

No, I see it as my duty or my responsibility to care for my family and I have to do that by all means even if it means using my last Kobo to do that, seen them happy makes me happy and continue living, they are my life, and the bible said a good woman build her family while the bad one tears it apart with her own hands, so I want to be the good one.
