CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I’ve been reading a study about being a better dad, an “intentional father”, and leading my kids to a relationship with Jesus. For me I sometimes feel like I don’t know how to do that. I don’t know all the right things to say and do have them learn about Jesus. But by putting down my phone, work, hobbies, tv remote, etc., and intentionally spending time with them, I’m off to a good start. By paying attention to them while they play, or ask questions (lots and lots of questions), or eat dinner and putting the distractions away they can tell the difference.
Sometimes our biggest obstacles to being intentional father is we do not know where to start. Well just like Matterhorn we climbed this morning, we have to be willing to take that first step. Get up and move, and if we stumble or fall to get up and keep going. I’m also learning that I have to show that side to my kids. If I struggle with obstacles and I handle it the wrong way, my kids learn the wrong way to handle obstacles. In those times of struggles, I have had to go back and apologize to my kids and ask for forgiveness. Which does a couple things, it makes my kids realize “hey dad isn’t perfect” and “dad can admit when he is wrong”. My weaknesses turn into learning points.
And when I struggle with an obstacle so much that I seek our heavenly Father’s assistance with it, my kids see that too. They see that God is always with us to lift us up and carry us when we need it. My hope is they know that not only I am always there to pick them up, but that God walks with us. God picks us all up, gives us a hug, knocks the dirt off, and says “Let’s do this together”.
MOLESKIN:
The PAX really pushed hard this morning, even though we did some things we never tried before. Indian run with pee rock curls being a prime example. But we all got better!
