Almost everything I know about life and godliness I learned from my father—not from what he said but from the way he lived. I never heard him curse, and I seldom heard him complain, but I did hear him pray. Never have I felt more loved or secure than when I heard Daddy praying for my mother and us kids. And when a teenage problem created a momentary crisis in my young life, he was always there. After listening to me pour out my heart, he would say, “Let’s pray about it,” and we would kneel together on the hardwood floor of the living room and talk to God.
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart…and he will make your paths straight.”
— Proverbs 3:5 and 6 (NIV)
Lord, help us to godly examples to our children. Amen.
