Took my boys out fishing this afternoon. Gorgeous sunset. Tides were beautiful... Boat fired up right away.... (WOW!) Perfect afternoon for a dad and his boys right? What better time to teach the boys about manhood, Godliness, etc...?
So why do I find myself, five minutes into the adventure, angry at my boys for not paying more attention at the instructions I now find myself barking out like some drill sergeant?
Don't get me wrong... There was a time not to long ago that I found it hard to be passionate about anything in life and I am so thankful to God for restoring my intensity... I want to be a passionate communicator about the Good News of Jesus. But oh how I want to be a loving father as my heavenly father is with me.
What if God hammered me when I was trying to "get it right?" God help me see the bigger picture with my beautiful young boys....
I want to be a part of molding them into fine, passionate, Christ-following young men!
God help me to find the balance between intensity, discipline, love and mercy.....
Just keeping it real and coveting your prayers!
