This my fourth
Father's Day without my Dad... I am sad about not being able to see him today,
but his legacy and training run deep through our family. I believe he would agree with
the following, and modeled it during his lifetime.
7 Aspects of Fatherhood
1.
Provider – in order to prepare for your children’s future
2.
Protector – our children are priceless – We must be their defense
3. Leader
– loving them by giving direction and communication
4.
Authority - teach to honor and respect
5.
Teacher - truthful lessons about God and life
6.
Example - living it out every day. It is what you do consistently.
7. Friend
- You like to be around them and them you - a trusting relationship.
Our
relationship with God stems off our relationship with our Father or Father
figure. Work on these aspects of fatherhood - even if you are not a Dad you'll
be a better role model!
Happy
Father's Day!
