What I've Learned From Being A Dad

May 25, 2018 | By Chuck

The greatest job I've ever had and the most difficult job I've ever had is being a dad. I've enjoyed every minute of being a dad. From crawling, talking and walking to baseballs, baby dolls and basketballs, I've loved every bit of being a dad. Being a dad has rewarded me with so many unforgettable memories and taught me so many things. I've learned all about unconditional love. There is nothing my kids could ever do that would cause me to stop loving them. I've learned about forgiveness, as I've had to ask for it and to give it at times. As a dad I've learned so much about prayer, probably because I've spent so much time praying since becoming a dad. I pray every day for my kid's spiritual walk, their friends and their future spouses. I pray every day for me as a dad. Being a dad is hard and I desperately need my Heavenly Father's wisdom and help. I've prayed for years and still do, that God would help me to lead my kids to Him. If I fail at everything I do in life, I don't want to fail in helping my kids get to heaven. Happy Father's Day to all the dads, may we learn that our greatest responsibility as dads is to make sure our kids know Jesus. "Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord"(Eph.6:4).
