“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning … The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us.” – John 1:1-2, 14.
Just as God provided a connection with Him through the physical presence of His Son, a father provides a connection to the Father by being present physically in family.
Studies have found that kids with a dad present in their lives are more likely to do well academically, are less likely to give in to peer pressure and are generally more comfortable in their own skin. As you make the effort to prioritize physical presence with your kids, you will be a hero in their eyes.
