Moms have so many responsibilities and they juggle them all so well. In his message, Dr. Dobson pays tribute on Mother's Day.
Mothers carry countless responsibilities—and do so with strength and love. Dr. James Dobson reflects on the sacrifice, devotion, and grace that define motherhood.
If you don't take a stand with your child early, she is compelled by her nature to push you further. Terrible battles are inevitable, especially during the adolescent years.
Dr. Dobson recalls a humorous experience when he had to step in and play "Mr. Mom", and how he discovered just how incredibly difficult a mother's role really is.
"Fatigue makes cowards of us all…" Do what you must to make rest a priority in your family's life.
There is still no substitute for the biblical prescription for marriage, nor will its wisdom ever be replaced. A successful husband and wife relationship begins with the attitude of the man; he has been ordained by God as the head of the family, and the responsibility for its welfare rests upon his shoulders.
Your task is to build a man out of the raw materials available in your delightful little boy, stone upon stone upon stone. This task must be your highest priority for a period of time. It will not always be required of you. Before you know it, that child at your feet will become a young man who will pack his bags and take his first halting steps into the adult world.
