On Sunday and Monday of this week, I had the pleasure of spending some time with some 5th and 6th graders at a winter retreat. On Monday, at a break-out session for just the guys (yes, the girls had one of there own), we discussed what is expected of a godly man - specifically a godly husband and father.
At one time, the speaker posed this question to the 75+ boys in the group.
Do you dream of becoming a husband and father?
I was amazed as over 3/4 of the group indicated that they did! During the session, I was standing in the back of the room hardly being able to contain my excitement - saying YES! This is what we need to be teaching now.
It is never too early to start teaching what it means to be a godly husband/father or a godly wife/mother to our kids. If this teaching is taking place in the home - great! However, imagine if we start teaching this in our churches and communities. We could see a relationship revolution!
Teach well!
