Happy Father's Day

Ok, I'm a day late, but I don't blog on the weekend. :)

The main theme of this blog and the book to follow is about becoming a better man. And often we focus on being a good husband and partner. But for many, being a good man also means being a good dad.

Here are a few lyrics from a song that you've probably never heard. It's from a guy named Rob Gallion who also has a blog. Rob's words are great reminders for us around Father's Day.

He’s gonna need a Dad to show him how
To throw and bat the ball
He’s gonna need him there for his first bike ride
Ready to catch his fall
He’s gonna need his strength in the dark of night
His praise to know when he’s doing right
Lord, please let him see how a Father’s love should be

So much pops out from that simple verse. But the bottom line is this. Our children are going to learn so much from us, it's almost frightening. They're going to learn how to love (and possibly hate), how to laugh, how to deal with difficult situations, and how to act in relationships. They're going to learn what's good and bad, primarily from you.

Your sons are going to learn what a father looks like.
Your daughters are going to understand what kind of husband they should look for.

What messages are you sending? You're always "on the air". Be careful what you broadcast.
