Do you remember those days when you thought that your dad could do anything? Maybe you still think that. I hope that you do have such fond memories of your dad. Dads have a way of convincing us that they can do anything. They put together our toys and they repair the things we break. They fix problems around the house whether plumbing, roofing, or electrical. They are constructors and remodelers, mechanics, mowers of the lawn, farmers, Dads are protectors, punishers and providers. Dads can be counselors and chauffeurs. Sometimes dads are the ones that have to be the doctor. At other times they are the chef (even if it is cereal for breakfast, pop tarts for lunch and candy for supper). Real dads have great love for their children and the mother of those children. Godly dads make great role models.

Only Christians can reminisce of a father who is the perfect portrait of fatherhood. His genuine love being expressed in John 3:16, “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.”

Men, are you leaving your family a legacy of faith and hope in the promises of God? What do you want to leave your family, a successful career or faith and hope in the promises of God? True success is succeeding spiritually with your family.
