Life moves fast.

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008

Yesterday was my little girls 1st birthday. It seems like just a few days ago I was in the hospital with her mom watching her be born. And it seems like not to long ago I was watching my other kids be born. Life is just so stinkin’ fast.

Makes me realize that every day that God has blessed us with is precious and should be treated as such. i need to take every opportunity to tell my daughters how beautiful they are and how much they are loved because if I don’t one day very soon some young man will be saying that to them and his intentions won’t be the same as mine.

I need to spend as much time as I can teaching my boys how to walk as men of God because if i don’t they will learn how to be men from some other place and won’t learn the values that I want them too.

I need to spend as much time cherishing my wife, building her up, and encouraging her growth spiritually for her benefit, but more importantly for my children’s. They need to see what a godly marriage looks like. My boys need to learn how to treat their future wives. My daughters need to know what a man of God looks like so they can make a good decision about their future husbands

Life just moves too fast. I often kid with my wife that I hate weddings because I am dreading walking my girls down the aisle. And you know what I am. I worry about weather or not I will have done a good enough job teaching and loving them in the time I had with them. I worry about weather they will be marrying a man of God, or a woman of God for my boys.

Life just moves too fast. Dang! Pray for me as I try to be the man, husband, and father God has called me to be.

Life just moves so freaking fast. Embrace your daughters, love your wives, and mentor your sons, cause LIFE MOVES FAST.
