Today is my monthly date day with my youngest daughter Meaghan. Every month on their "birthday" day, I take my daughters on a date with their Daddy, and my wife does the same for our son Cameron. I love date day because I know my girls love it. They love that Daddy opens the door for them; orders for them; talks to them; makes much of them...loves them.
Today is also International Women's Day. Today affords me the opportunity to show my Meaghan how she deserves to be treated by a man. I want her to see that chivalry and romance are important. I want her to see that for a man to biblically lead means to love and honour his wife. I want her to see that her submission to my headship is a good thing and ultimately for her benefit. I want her to see that her future husband must lead as Daddy leads because he will lead her. I want her to know that should the Lord be pleased to give her a family, her highest calling is to be Mommy. I want her to see that God is glorified in all that we do.
I love date days! I cherish them because I know that some day, sooner than I wish, they'll be gone. So today, we will dance...
