Building Healthy Families: Friday, October 16 is “National Boss’s Day”, which reminds us of a biblical truth that applies every day of the year: God calls us to honor those in authority. Children learn this not only from what we teach but from what they hear us say about employers, teachers, leaders, and others in authority. Consider how your words do (or don’t) model respect and gratitude for the children in your household. www.LutheranFamilyService.org Lutheran Family Service
