]]> Comment on Valentines Day by Eric http://mymissionfocus.org/valentines-day/comment-page-1/#comment-14 Eric Mon, 08 Feb 2010 12:12:44 +0000 http://mymissionfocus.org/?p=1235#comment-14 I think this is great advice Jay. I was recently sitting with a YMCA co-worker who was married this last year. I asked him what his plans were for Valentine's Day for his new wife and made sure he understood the "rules" men play under for the holiday as I have been married for 5 years. He had it under control, but my point is that I think all of us should use our influence as supervisors or co-workers or friends to emphasize family as a priority year around. Don't leave it to a "self-audit" and hope our staff understand that. That advice also doesn't have to come for a devoational or "spiritual leader." We are great at encouraging and training staff for better programming at our YMCA's, but lets make sure we are also prioritizing home life and take a personal interest in our staff and co-workers, which means caring about the relationships that our important to them.
