The Daily Blueprint for 10/26/10

Fathers

Psalm 127:4-5

Children born to a young man are like sharp arrows to defend him. Happy is the man who has his qiver full of them.

It takes a special kind of man to be a Father - anyone who is able can father a child - but not everyone can be a Father -
But those who are Fathers by this diffintion are truly blessed! Being a father is more then just having a child - it takes commitment - it takes a life-long love - it take a lot of faith and it take mentoring - many before you have had children and they can tell you a thing or two about it - I want to have children - but that may not be God's plan for me - I love this verse about how children can be a weapon to protect the Father - never thought of it that way - what makes a Father? A Father is someone who loves with all he has- a father is one who puts his needs behind those of others - a Father is one to do without while his children do with - it's about giving your all for the sake of these children - even Sunday school teachers play a roll - I should know - I got to attend a birthday party for my best buddy - Micah - he is 8 years old soon to be 9 - in any rate I have gotten to become really close to this young man - it's been a blessing - I can begin to see a little about what it means to be Father in that - being a Father means that you do what you have to do for your family - for your children - you can have many children but without JESUS in the center it won't make a world of difference -
Being a Father is a tough job but it's very rewarding - maybe you are about to become a Dad for the first time -maybe you are worried about what kind of exampl you will set with your children -good - that's the way to be - we must show them our Love and not just tell them we love them - we must show it - a Father is one who not only speaks love but shows it!
To the Fathers out there - be blessed - what you have is a blessing - children are a blessing from God! Love them like that! God bless you Fathers!

GOD is our FATHER - the FATHER of the fatherless!
