Clothe yourself with humility toward one another - 1 Peter 5:5
Our families know how imperfect we are
Most responsibility = most mistakes
Powerful and enduring leaders are those without pretension
Paul said he was the chief of sinners
Apologize bluntly
Apologize quickly
Ask "Is everything all right? Is anything else bothering you?"
Wallowing in guilt or losing self-confidence over your mistakes is not true humility - it is selfishness and lack of faith
People in our family should feel free to come to us and tell us whatever is on their mind
Our responsibility is to create a feeling of freedom and openness in our households
If we do not, we are headed for a day of bitter reckoning
