How does a dad know he's been too busy with his schedule? A conversation with his four year old daughter will reveal the truth.
Several days ago, I was getting ready for work when Katie, my four year old came into the bathroom sporting a new outfit. I told her how beautiful she looked, and asked her if she would go out on a date with me. With a big smile and giggles, Katie responded by saying that she would go on a date with me, and asked if she could ride in the truck (one of her favorite modes of transportation).
As she was making her way down to the basement, with a new stride in her step I hear her say back to me, "It's been a long time since we have been on a date daddy. We used to go on dates all of the time. I remember when we used to go on dates daddy. I really liked those dates."
Ouch!! Never ask a question to a four year old, unless of course you want to hear brutal honesty!
I think it is time to grab the daytimer and schedule a date with my daughter.

Great reminder! Thanks, Pastor Darrin.
I had a "berry pickin' date" with my soon-to-be 7 year old daughter over the weekend. She still had on her Sunday dress, and we went all over the place, through mud, into the briar patches and woods, pickin' wild berries! SHE HAD A BLAST . . . and you know what, SO DID I . . . especially when her momma made a berry/bananas foster dessert!! Oh, yeah, that's what I'M talkin' about . . .
