It's necessary for a healthy family to have a mission, right?

With young kids, we like to say, make that your neighborhood.

Be the person of peace in your neighborhood that Luke 10 talks about.

Welcome to Family Life Today, where we want to help you pursue the relationships that

matter most.

I'm Ann Wilson.

I'm Dave Wilson, and you can find us at familylifetoday.com or on our Family Life app.

This is Family Life Today.

Okay, so you walk up to any family at a park, at a church, in a neighborhood, and ask them,

mom and dad, what's your mission for your family?

What's the goal?

I have asked that to multiple moms.

I've seen you ask that.

You walk around the park and tell them people, but I have asked that question to moms,

like, oh, what do you hope?

What do you dream for your kids?

What is it?

Almost 95% of the time, the response that I hear is, I just want them to be happy.

And I agree, don't we all want that for our kids, but how do you attain happiness?

I don't want their lives to be happy.

I want them to be on fire for you, I want them to change the world.

And then you get into the reality, and your kids are hitting each other, hate school.
