Treasured moments...
The most precious treasures of fatherhood for me have been those all-to-brief moments of simply connecting with my children. Fatherhood, it is said, is about providing, protecting and preparing our children for life in a rough and tumble world. That is true. But the most important ingredient, I have found, in making these particular responsibilities meaningful is the same one that best anchors our children to a rock-solid foundation of courage. What is that ingredient? It's love. And not just any kind of love either... it's the kind of love that quietly reaches into the life of another and lavishes upon it value and sacrifice. It's the kind of love that patiently invests in another hope for the future. It's the kind of love that finds its beginning and end (and all the in-between, too) in Christ Jesus.
Book Excerpt
A Heart At Home With God
My youngest son when he had just turned four approached me one morning with a most solemn look on his face.
“Daddy,” he said looking up at me. “Can I sit next to you?”
“Of course, honey,” I answered, my heart jumping with joy at the thought of my little boy wanting to be with me. He climbed up and snuggled close to me and then sat still for a moment holding his little toes. He was clearly deep in thought.
“Daddy,” said he, breaking the stillness.
“Yes?” I returned.
“God can play ‘tag’ really good, can’t He?” he asked with utmost seriousness in his expression and tone.
“What do you mean, sweetheart?” I asked, looking into his big eyes.
“If you run away, God can catch you really easy, can’t He?” he explained.
“Hmm,” I said.
“And He can play ‘hide-and-seek’ really good ‘cuz He can see you anywhere you hide, right?”
“Umm,” I said.
“Maybe God could play ‘Freeze Tag’ sometime with us,” he mused thoughtfully rocking back and forth beside me.
“Uh,” I said.
