Happy
Father's Day!!
The
following is a great article I read today about how important it is for us
fathers to not just be present - but be INTENTIONAL.
Stepping
Up as a Dad
"A few years ago, my son Ben and I had the
opportunity to go to a World Series game in St. Louis. It was awesome to see my
beloved Cardinals square off against the Detroit Tigers.
The Cards
won 5–0 (and went on to win the Series in five games), but the highlight from
that evening’s experience was when my friend Chip turned and asked my son, 'How
would you describe your dad in one word?' Watching Ben think for a moment, I
quietly speculated about what he might say. I was hoping it would be some noble
character quality like 'loving' or 'kind' or 'forgiving.'
Instead, my
grown son’s one-word conclusion of me was 'intentional.' ”
