Pinoys are known for its "close family tie" culture. Family bonding is very important to every Filipino household.
This is one of the many things I wanted my kids to learn as they grow. With four kids, I am really dealing with four different personality. Though they are growing in one same roof, I did see how different they are. But of course, there are so many things common in them. I thank God for having them raised in the faith. All four are serving the church in different areas of ministries. They all pray before they sleep. And going to church is never hard for me to motivate them. Different yet the same because of our growing faith in the Lord.
Bonding.. I see to it that I took time out for each of the four. It's too expensive if I will do it together. One by one, by schedule, I brought them along. Only in a month that we go out together. Spending time together without thinking about my ministry but them alone. My wife and I have agreed on this. And we also, as a couple, spend time together without the kids. Which I believe is a good example to our children.
I am happy to have kids which are God-given. That knowledge brings us together... closer.
