Father’s Day Part 2

Ok, so while I was jotting down my thoughts about the Ultimate Father, I began to think about how much Chris resembles God’s nature with our children.  So in honor to the wonderful father Chris is – here’s my TOP 10 reasons why Chris is the best father around….

1.  He is a man after God’s heart and God’s Presence.  He is never satisfied with where He is.  He is always pursuing more.  This is contagious in our household.

2.  He provides for our physical needs and with that being said, he is wise about what is a legitimate need and desire.

3.  He provides for our desires as well!

4.  He leads our children down a path I’ve seen few  truely go before us, not giving attention to the status quo, rejecting worldly ideas about what is “good wisdom”  or holds importance.  This path is called the WORD OF GOD.

5.  He sets the example for worshiping the King!  He worships in spirit and in truth.  So my children worship in spirit and in truth – well, learning how to anyway.

6.  He trusts in no man.  He trusts in God alone.  He prays for my children.  He prays for their healing, their salvation, their protection, their destiny.

7.  He believes in them.  He has vision for their future and He speaks that vision to them.  He believes in their destinies and invests into their destinies.

8. He lovingly trains and disciplines them.  He follows God’s heart for each one, never pandering to their childish ways, but keeping the expectation on the standard.  He is neither passive nor aggressive.  He is consistent.

9.  He is raising our boys to gentle men, but not sissys.  He is raising our girls to be sure about who they are, but not “independent”.

10.  He says he’s sorry to them when he’s wrong.  He is humble before them.

Sounds like THE Father to me.  Thank you Chris!  I certainly could NOT do this job without you!    Katie
