We often address the impact of mothers around here, partially because all of us here at Healing Hands ARE mothers. However, the effects of GOOD dads simply can’t be understated. Dads…bring the fun, the roughhousing play, the strength. But also be the one with the bear hugs for your daughters AND your sons ❤️

I don’t care if it’s uncomfortable, if you think it’s unimportant or weak, or if you’re too cowardly to do it…

Get over yourself.

Dads: love and safety, especially for children, begins with touch. Secure, safe touch.

Don’t steal this from them.

Hug your sons.
Everyday.
For a few long moments.

We need a generation of healthy men.

And it starts with you.

Figure it out, and hug your sons.

Tripp goes on to say, “I cannot think of a more essential ingredient in marriage than forgiveness. Yet forgiveness is not always attractive. Forgiveness is difficult and costly. It will push you to the borders of your faith. It will tempt you to fear and doubt. But when forgiveness is granted and debts are canceled, the return is much greater than the cost.”

Happy Monday! I wanted to share an excerpt from a blog post from one of my (Emily’s) personal accounts, in hopes that it may offer some encouragement:

The End is Not The End

I can tell you that nothing makes me feel more depressed than self-talk that tells me to give up hope. Nothing tightens my shoulders, shallows my breath and makes me want to run for the door or revert to avoidance behaviors more than thoughts like these.

We’ve all experienced negative emotions that stem from harmful, fearful, and anxious thoughts. How often do we stop to examine or question these narratives? Why are we so quick to believe and trust and cuddle up to unhelpful, unholy, and downright harmful thoughts?

Unchecked, irresponsible and unloving self-talk would have us believe that there are no limits to the harm that hard situations and heavy emotions can inflict upon us. It would have us believe that we are ever at the whims of a cruel world and it’s many abuses, rather than dearly loved children of God, made for His glory, and held within his sovereign care.

2 Corinthians 10:5 says, “Take hold of every thought, raised up against the knowledge of God, and place it into submission unto Christ.”

This verse speaks to the active relationship we are to have with our thoughts. We are to examine our thoughts for truthfulness, and in a sense, we are to parent them and disciple them to align with God’s truth.

Bringing awareness to our self-talk isn’t a cure-all, but it is a really effective first step in bringing order to our thoughts, and thus, our emotions. It can also serve as an effective guardrail against avoidance and other destructive behaviors.

Take hold, friends.

No one can do this for you. Others can hold you accountable, but you are the only human witness to the ongoing narrative in your mind.

If your thoughts are causing you misery and despair, I encourage you to pray, journal, talk to a counselor, do whatever you can to bring the narrative out into the light where you can see it for what it is. And, if you can notice it, you can change it! You don't have to let negative or catastrophic thoughts boss you around.

A. You always have a choice
B. There is always hope! ❤️
