Happy Father's Day
As I was thinking about our dad today a number of things came to my mind.....his example to his family:
- He has been a man of great faith.
- He has been a man of prayer.
- He has always sought God's will.
- He loved my mom so well and took such great, sacrificial care of her.
- He loves people.
- He taught us kids to use sport to reach others.
- He has always been a hard worker.
In recent months it has become clear that the "family baton" has been passed on to my brother, Scott. I see the same qualities in him that my dad has had. However, it is a role that he reluctantly takes on. Not because he is not equipped by God's grace, but because it means roles have been reversed ... and that is hard. He is teaching his children, through his and my SIL's example, that it is our responsibility to care for our parents in their old age ... no matter what ... no matter how hard ... no matter how sad ... no matter ...
He will, and is, passing these same qualities on to his boys (and Lily), who will some day become dads and hopefully, by God's grace, continue passing the baton to the next generation of Huckaby men.
Happy Father's Day to my dad and brother. Love them both.
