Fathers: What Legacy are you Leaving?

"When you have seen me, you have seen my father." - Jesus

Your children are living testimonies of who you are. Whether you care for and nurture them, or deny and neglect them, your children are witnesses to who YOU are.

Long after you leave this earth, your offspring will remain and reveal things about you.

I wonder...

If we were to look at your children, what would their appearance say about you?

If we were to talk to your children, what would their conversation reveal about you?

How much have you poured into them?

How much have you taken from them?

Please understand...when you do right by your children, you do right by yourself.

(I hope you have enjoyed this week's discussion on fatherhood. Please share the link with others--especially fathers--to get their comments and feedback.)

My father died when I was very young 7 years old but he instilled in me things that I carry now at 44 some things that I do and say and the way I deal with situations my mother says that is exactly the way your dad did it, and for that I am very proud, I wish he was still here and I miss him he is someone you would have enjoyed.
