Being a Good Dad

These are pictures of my two sons with my two grandchildren. Jon is in the top photo with his son, Jack. Rob is in the second photo with his daughter, Robin. In the past few weeks, I have had an opportunity to spend some extended time with both of my sons and granchildren. During that time I made a major discovery. My two sons are wonderful Dads. Both of them are much better Dads than I was at their ages.

Jon (36) and Rob (33) are patient, loving, kind, gentle, and wise with their children. I'd like to say they take after me but that would not be telling the truth. Their good parenting skills come from God through their mother. I married way above my head when I married my wife, Debbie in 1970. She is not only a great mother but she is even a better grandmother. My wife is the most mature Christian I have ever known and I value her counsel greatly. Have a look at the three most precious people in my life in the photo below. Thank You, Lord, for my family.
