This post is shorter than most on The Daily Saint but brevity can often be the best teacher. Before a recent trip I took with my kids around town, we packed some sandwiches and labeled them with a Sharpie. As I handed out everyone's lunch, my seven year old saw my sandwich and laughed.

My lunch, self labeled I admit, said, "#1 Dad".

After I admitted to being the man behind the label, my son questioned me and said the following, "Dad, come on! You should know better than this. You're not the #1 Dad- God is." We then had a great talk about God's role in our daily lives. Simple as that.

Sometimes it takes a child to show you a life lesson.
