THRIVINGFAMILIES Episode #9: Where's My Family When I Need Them? (VIDEO)
Today we’re talking about how to be present and available to our kids. The idea of presence, meaning physically and emotionally present, is that your kids feel like you want to spend time without expectations.

“God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8, ESV )
In today’s video, as always, I’m sharing tips to help your family thrive:
