Kingdom parents, Every year on May 31st, we celebrate the Everything Parent Award in honor of Frances Marie Williams. This is not just another post or something we scroll past. This is a movement. My grandmother, Frances Marie Williams, raised me. She was my everything. She did everything, even when it was hard, even when nobody saw it, even when she had every reason to give up. And when I look at this community, I see her in so many of you. Parents who are tired but still show up, healing while raising others, carrying a past and still pushing forward, parents who don’t have it easy but refuse to quit. So on May 31st, we honor that. We honor you. This is how we’re showing up. You wake up intentional. Not rushing, not overwhelmed, not pouring into everyone else first. You get dressed, do your hair, get your nails done, put on something that makes you feel good. You take yourself out, whether it’s to eat, to sit in peace, or just to enjoy your own presence. You take pictures, real ones, proud ones, the kind that say “I made it through some things.” I will be sending out certificates to every parent who signs up, because you deserve to be recognized. Then we show the world. You post your pictures, you tag the community, you send them to me, and I’m going to share them so the world can see what strength really looks like, what resilience looks like, what “everything” really looks like. We celebrate everything else in this world. Now it’s time to celebrate ourselves. If you’re joining this movement, drop your name below. This is your moment. Don’t sit this one out. Because May 31st belongs to the parents who never gave up. In honor of Frances Marie Williams, let’s show the world what “everything” really looks like.

A lot of us tell our children: “Say sorry.” But have we trained them how to actually apologize? Because “sorry” can become something they say just to get out of trouble. A real apology is not just words. A real apology teaches responsibility, humility, repair, and love. So instead of only saying: “Tell them sorry.” Start training them through what an apology should include. 1. Name what you did “I hit you.”“I yelled at you.”“I took your toy.”“I spoke disrespectfully.”“I lied.” This teaches them not to hide behind vague words. 2. Name how it affected the other person “That hurt you.”“That made you sad.”“That was disrespectful.”“That broke trust.” This teaches empathy. 3. Say sorry clearly “I’m sorry for hitting you.”“I’m sorry for yelling.”“I’m sorry for taking that.” Not mumbled.Not forced with attitude.Not “sorry” while rolling their eyes. 4. Ask how to repair it “What can I do to make it right?”“Do you want a hug or space?”“Can I help fix it?” This teaches repair. 5. Practice doing better next time “Next time, I will use my words.”“Next time, I will ask first.”“Next time, I will walk away instead of hitting.” This teaches growth. We are not just raising children who say sorry. We are raising children who understand repentance. And repentance is not just “I feel bad.” Repentance means: “I see what I did.I take responsibility.I want to turn and do differently.” We have to model this too. If we yell, we apologize. If we overreact, we repair. If we spoke harshly, we own it. Not because our children are equal in authority, but because humility is part of Godly leadership. So today, don’t just make your child say sorry. Train the apology. Use this simple script: “I’m sorry for ____. I know it made you feel ____. Next time I will ____. How can I make it right?” That’s training.
