@frjoshTX Yes! I’m most aware of this when I take time away from my children. I feel I should be with them, helping them grow in Christ, not away from them working for someone else. The secular world says, “Well, that’s just not practical...” but I know earning is not my highest calling.

I read to my kids for at least 45 min every night. Not so much because I’m trying to be a good dad, really just wanting to read these books!
Our favorites; Lord of the Rings, The Chronicles of Narnia, Grimms’ Fairy Tales, and Aesop’s Fables!
What do you read to your kiddos?
26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
Matthew 24
King James Version
24 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.
2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
4 & Jesus answered & said unto them Take heed that no man deceive you
5 For many shall come in my name saying, I am Christ; & shall deceive many
6 And ye shall hear of wars & rumours of wars
see that ye be not troubled for all these things must come to pass but the end is not yet
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
10 And then shall many be offended, & shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophet stand in the holy place whoso readeth, let him understand
16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains
17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing..
18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo here is Christ or there; believe it not
24 For there shall arise false Christs & false prophets & shall shew great signs & wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
25 Behold, I have told you before.
