Daddy
Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house; your sons will be like olive shoots around your table. Psalm 128:3 NIV
The role of a father is so important in the home. God bless the fathers of the world today!
I have shared this story before, but a friend told me once about an incident at her daughter's house. Her son-in-law is really excited about reading the "Left Behind" series of fiction novels. One night he was so anxious to finish the latest release that he stayed up most of the night. Seated comfortably in his favorite chair, his back was to the rest of the house. The first time he got up was well after midnight. He was startled to stumble over one of his sons. His son was sleeping behind his chair, just to be close to "Daddy".
What an impact a father have on his family. I can honestly say I have never met a woman who would not faithfully serve the Lord if her husband did. Most women I know, even very independent women, welcome their husband assuming the spiritual leadership of the home. Women are more free to serve Christ and be fruitful for the Kingdom when they have a supportive husband who surrounds her with unconditional love.
Children love to spend time with their fathers. They long for male attention; male interaction; a father's approval. One of the greatest gifts I can give to my boys is to simply spend time with them in the backyard. They love for me just to pass a ball with them. It is these times that I believe is molding their character into being godly young men.
Fathers, please, don't neglect your greatest responsibilty. Yes, I know the world is demanding much from you these days. I know you're tired from the pressures and stress of life. But, your family's health depends so greatly on the important role you play.
