I am grateful for the man (father) who desires to seek God first, love his wife, and be a role model for his children. It is not the sports, movie, or singing stars that is supposed to influence a child to do right (though it is good) but rather, the father who lives in the home.
God is so proud of you! Thank you for having your spiritual priorities right. Thank you for attempting to live right. Thank you for modeling godliness, integrity, and good morals.
The man that will get into the arena and at least try will not only benefit himself, but all of those who are watching. President Roosevelt said it best
"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy course; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat."
May your life continue to be a devotion that will leave a lasting legacy of your life and impact those who have watched you in the arena. Happy Father’s Day!
