A gentleman in our church just emailed me a picture of his new baby girl, prouder than snot to be a new dad of his precious princess. He asked what additional advice I had for him. So, without a lot of prolonged thought, I fired back:
- Love her momma well. Make sure she sees it, hears it, knows it.
- Tell her how beautiful she is and how proud of her you are of her–
often.
- Listen. Then listen some more. Keep listening.
-
Trust her. Make sure she knows it.
- Always hug her.
- Show her what it looks like to be treasured: treat her like a
princess.
- Don’t be afraid to say “no.” You’ll say it a lot.
- Be sure to say “yes” to lots of right things.
- Pray all the time.
- Buy a shotgun.
