The report card was on the table. Straight A’s. Smiles. Celebration ready. Yet later that evening, the child asked a question that stopped the room. “Is this why you’re proud of me?” That moment exposed a quiet tension many families live with but rarely name. Achievement is celebrated. Purpose is assumed. And children begin to...
January always sounds hopeful. New planners. Fresh calendars. Big family goals spoken around the dining table or whispered in prayer. Everyone wants a better year.

As one year begins to close, the pressure quietly starts to build. More goals. More expectations. More expenses. More plans.

There’s a new kind of distance creeping into families. Not physical distance but emotional distance. The kind that happens when we’re in the same room yet living in different worlds.
