a Biblical thought...
And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication. They will look on me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son. (Zechariah 12:10-11)
a Book thought...
No longer is it enough for dads to be just breadwinners; we must also be playmates, nurturers, guides, entertainers, educators and counsellors - as we were before the Industrial Revolution. (p177)
a Dave thought...
During my years as a youth pastor I often saw many young people hurt through unhealthy ends to dating. It was when a couple went "out together" for 6 months and then after they break up one of the pair to decides to start another relationship 2 days later. So I was often asked 'how long should I wait between relationships?' It was this continuous question and seeing many people hurt that helped me come up with the 10% rule. My advice was to wait 10% of the length of the relationship before starting another. So for instance if you had been dating for 30 days take a 3 day break but if you have been going out for 10 months at least take a 1 month break before dating someone else. I believe God wants us all to show respect to one another even when a relationship ends, it is when guys and girls switch dating partners quickly their ex gets hurt.
Just a thought.
