Yes, you pushed play and you are about to receive a gift. Some of you had terrible or absent Dads. There is hope and you are not done yet. What works in life and what doesn't, we pursue Truth, here you go...side note, this was recorded back in June 19th, 2020...repurposed for the audio book, "Every Marriage and Family is Flawed". You can find that audiobook in its entirety shared right here back in 2021. It's a timeless lesson reflected during a very contentious time. BTW, how much have we solved since then? Better or worse? How about all these political promises and re-imagining everything? As stated, you are not changing anything without changed hearts. There is one ultimate solution and many reject it. Here you go...
Man! So good! Thank you Dad! Skeptic, how many societal problems could we solve with men like that. This is the Order. We have the blue print. Yet, as humans we love to do it 'our' or 'my' way. God's way works...if you are properly tuned in. Getting the pull to some of you that didn't have a Dad or maybe you weren't a great Dad. If you didn't have a great Dad like Maya or Bold or like my Dad, may you realize like them, your ultimate Father is up there. Tune in like they did and feel that love you have never felt before. Take my Dad's suggestion and start in Ephesians. For those with kids and or older, if you are still breathing you can still make a difference. Apologie to the ones you hurt. Serve them and their kids if you can. Bonus challenge, pick a community nearest you that you know has been hardest hit via COVID and/or racial tensions. Google for churches in that region, pick one and tell them you would like to step up as a mentor for youth in need. Super bonus, will you share this with every Dad you know? Could you imagine this world if we had more Denzel's and Jon's and Maya's in this world? Share what works.
Ending on a song note, one more share request, could you share this with anyone that hasn't had a great Dad? A reason for hope and encouragement, listen to the words from Maya Moore or Jon Penton. You have a flawed earthly Father. You have a Heavenly Father that loves you more than you may ever realize. Now to the song, I have to go here, can you imagine being a child awoken with this saying and what kind of mindset you would have going into each day no matter how bright or challenging, "This is the Day", a soulful, beautiful version by Brian Courtney Wilson. If you dig, please give Brian some love and subscribe to his music. If you believe, share that verse with your kids daily. Now, go and love, love your true Heavenly Father, if you have kids, love your kids' mom, model that for your kids, it is one of the greatest gifts you can give them...legacy...
