Father Figure

Take a new grip with your tired hands and strengthen your week knees.  Mark out a straight path for your feet so that those who are weak and lame will not fall but become strong.  (Hebrews 12:12-13)

We all model something to someone.  Being a father, this has never been more apparent to me in my lifetime.  There are times that I set a good example for our children; other times, I wish I that could take back something that I have said or done.  

After 36 years, I have really come to appreciate all of the wisdom, advice, and love that my father has given me.  The Bible promises us the way we live our lives will influence others; it may be for good or bad, for Christ or the enemy, so ask yourself what kind of example you have been setting for others lately.


I hope that one day our two sons will look back and realize that I tried to set a good example for them to live by, just like my father has for me...
