Last night I thought about teaching my 1st son to be the leader of his siblings. My first son is the child for whom I am learning to be a father. The others get the benefit of experience. So my thought came from putting extra effort into his formation and from teh acceptance of the fact that we have made and will make the most mistakes with him. The acceptance came from the idea that he will be stronger for it. The inspiration came to teach him leadership and responsibility for his siblings an in that way give him added reason to be a better man.

This morning during meditation it the thought came that I should take the leadership role for my siblings. That I should place myself in my father's heart and be inspired to lead my sister and brother. I should do this by regular contact and love. Not by coercion or prodding. I should call then regularly and just talk about things and let the spirit guide us into the things that need to be talked about.

The Keystone
He is the Father, and we are His children. Most good ideas are simple, and this concept was the keystone of the new and triumphant arch through which we passed to freedom. ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 62
