THE BEST THING I CAN DO TO MY KIDS 

Kudos to all you Mamas out there. Last Sunday, Mothers day was celebrated world over. This is a day set aside to remember the sacrifices and selfless lives that our Mothers live. Where could we be without our Mothers. As one Spanish Proverb says, "An ounce of Mother is worth a ton of Priest". In other words these people we call Mothers are far more important than even our Local Priest or Pastor.

Sad to say that we only remember the good work Mothers do in this one Sunday in a year. No wonder someone said that Mothering is one of those thankless jobs a woman does. I wonder what we menfolk are doing to appreciate those women who have borne us those children and who do continue day by day investing their lives into those little ones. As we celebrate our Mothers, married men, let's not forget to celebrate our wives.  It's easy not to notice the good work they do and tend to focus on the small things that they forget to do or haven't been doing well of late.

I remember several years ago, during my college days, reading these words in a plaque at my Pastor's house " The best thing a Father can do to his children, is to love their Mother".  Right then I made this my lifelong ambition, to love the Mother of my children. For that is the best thing I can do to my kids. There is no point doing all those good things to your children if you don't love their Mother. Let them grow up knowing that Daddy loves Mummy. Demonstrate your love for her in front of them. Don't be shy, let them not just know but see that truly, Daddy 'anapenda' Mummy.

That way you will raise secure and confident children as that is the right environment for such to happen. And that is the best thing, you dear husband, that you can do to your kids.
