Fundamentals

A few weeks ago I was having lunch w/ a dear friend of mine, someone whom I consider a mentor. We were talking about the changes and challenges that our first child will bring.

He gave a good piece of advice: Go back to the fundamentals --- our relationship w/ God and our relationship with each other. To provide a safe, secure family for our child, we must seek God and make sure He is at the center/foundation of our lives and the child must not replace our marriage or each other. If we don't adhere to the fundamentals, we cannot provide a healthy, growing family for our child.
