Proud of you son

======================

Hello, Son!

I just wanted to drop you a line to let you know I was thinking

about you.

I was thinking about how very proud I am of you.

I'm pleased with the man you've become; the husband and the

father that you are.

I know that you have a business to run, kids to raise and a wife

to court.

Also, I understand that a man needs diversions, such as football

games and family outings to keep from going nuts. So, don't

feel guilty about doing those things. However, I want to

encourage you to prayerfully consider something of the highest

importance.

Son, at the risk of sounding too "preachy," I what to pass on to

you one of the most important truths I've learned in my 55 years

of life. It was passed on to my by your grandfather, my Dad.

I now pass it to you to learn and then share with your new son.

You see, son, you are the head of your family--duly appointed by

God Himself. That's also makes you the Priest of your home--its

spiritual leader. In a very real sense you are the Pastor of

your family. You are the shepherd of this flock that God has

entrusted to your care.

This is an awesome responsibility, son. Therefore, I can't

imagine taking on this weighty task without God at the helm,

leading me, strengthening me, and teaching me how to fulfill

this office.

He called men to be the shepherd of their homes and He will hold

us accountable for it. That's one of the reasons I'm gone

through anguish from time to time in my life. I'm acutely aware

of the awesome responsibility that being a father and a husband

holds. If I shirk my responsibility by not doing what I'm

supposed to do for them, to provide for them physically,

emotionally, and spiritually, I have to answer to God.

What's more, I run the risk of hurting my family if I fail to

minister to them in one or more of those areas.

Son, you won't hear this on secular TV or read it about in any

so-call "Men's Magazines," but I have become convinced of this

unalterable truth.

A man is not a real man if he's not providing for his family in

all three areas--physically, emotionally and spiritually. It a

tough job, but God wouldn't have blessed us with a family if He

thought we couldn't handle it.

Just remember Philippians 4:13.

"I can do everything through him who gives me strength."

I love you son, and I'll always be here for you.

Dad
