![How To Build Margin Into Your Life [Series]](https://heartstonejourney.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/beware-of-edge.jpg)
What do you think about when you hear the word margin? Here are some questions to start the conversation. Is your schedule overloaded? Are you always busy? Is your family slipping away? Are you stressed out all the time?
Check out some of these statistics for people living in the United States (US):
We now live in an ‘on demand’ society and we get caught up in the jet stream of life. Even though we are connected more than ever as a global online community, we are now more dis-connected than ever from a relational perspective.
What has all this technology done to erode personal relationships? People-to-people interactions?
ABC affiliate WCVB reported that a group of fifth-grade football players from Massachusetts banded together as a “Band Of Brothers” to show their support when they found out that their 6-year-old water boy was being teased for his attire and a speech impediment.
Awesome!!!
Do you have a brother that has your back?
Do you have a brother who fights for your life and legacy?
Do you have a brother who believes in you?
Do you have a brother who encourages you and builds you up?
Do you have a brother who picks you up when you fall?
Have you noticed that the demand for superhero movies is on the rise?
What if I told you that there is a “super hero” in real life. What if I told you he’s called a Dad.
Not just any dad. I am talking about a dad who hopefully stays married to his wife (I blew this one) and raises his children to follow God and to be responsible – a dad who is a Godly role model and leader in the home.
As a dad, I was almost taken out by the enemy. I almost blew it, but my Commander in Chief, God Himself, God gave me another chance.
Men, I don’t know what you are facing as a husband, as a father, but we are being taken out left and right. There is a war on the family unit and significant ground is being lost. This will not be won politically, by the government, by the courts, by the media or by sitting around waiting for the next guy to do something. This war will be one by us manning up and stepping into the role of fatherhood that God has called us into.
Here is a re-work of the Navy Seal Ethos for all you husbands and fathers out there fighting the good fight for your families, may you be encouraged!
In times of trouble or uncertainty there is a special breed of warrior ready to answer our family’s call. A common man with uncommon desire to succeed. Forged by adversity, he stands alongside a brotherhood to serve his God, his family, and protect their way of life. I am that man.
