My Son


I love being a dad and I love having a son. My son's name is Eric. He is a great little dude. Very quickly, I am realizing that Eric is going to be a lot like me. He is going to follow my example in everything that I do. It is likely that his relationship with God will look like my relationship with God. It is likely that he will treat his wife like I treat my wife. It is likely that he will treat his kids like I treat my kids. It is likely that he will work like I work. It is likely that he will talk like I talk. And it is likely that he will walk like I walk.

I pray that I will be a good example for my son and raise him to love Jesus with all his heart, his mind, his soul and his strength. Lord help me be a good example.

Just a note Chris- I loved the sermon today. I actually blogged about a similar subject on Saturday night. Getting out of the comfort zone. I am thinking/praying about starting a "mommy" group in my community where I live. Not affiliated with the church, but then using it to reach out. I'm very nervous and still praying. Anyway, God is working on this and it's strange (actually no it's not) that you preached on a subject I recently have been thinking on.
Thanks!

Chris,

You are a great dad! Eric and the girls are fortunate to have a father who loves Jesus.
