Begin with the End in Mind
Knowing that someday we will die, we should work back from our death! This gives perspective to each new day. Death should not be a morbid thought, but rather a motivating factor. 
The following questions are ones we may want to ask as we take stock of our daily lives with our children.
- Did I show tangible love to my children today by listening to them and giving them my focused attention?
- Did I read from God's Word today and encourage them in their faith?
- Was I available for them in the teachable moments?
- Did I encourage them to hear from God, knowing that I may not always be able to do that for them?
- Did I encourage them to use their gifts and talents for the Glory of God?
- Did I smile at them today?
- Did I hug them today?
- Have I asked them today to forgive me for my wrong doings?
- Did I discipline them fairly?
- Finally, ask what you are doing today that you will be glad of 20 years from now!
