When it comes to fathers some of us won the lottery and others got ripped off. Some of us have dad who are still very vested in our lives while others will have to wait for heaven to see their dad again. There are fathers who still light up the grill, pilot the boat, set up the volleyball net, fix your car…there are fathers who need 24/7 care.
Some of us are fathers. It’s a joy, a responsibility, a moving target. Depending on what stage of life you are in you may be changing diapers, tires or the beneficiaries in your will. What does it mean to be a good father in the phase of life you’re in? Maybe it’s time to change what everyone else has come to expect; maybe it’s time to change what you’ve come to expect. May God help each of us to tweak our serve so that we are ever more effective in blessing our family and setting a godly example for them to follow.
