When I find myself tired, irritated, discouraged, or just plain lazy, I am able to bring one word to my mind that instantly rejuvenates my vigor for my family:
"Serve."
It’s such a simple word, yet it carries the connotations of everything I can do to be better at loving my family. It describes subjugating my desires for the needs of others. It illustrates their value over my own. It reminds me that I am not the focus of my life. And it helps me keep a perspective on the truly important.
