Are you a good example?

As a Christian parent, you hope that your kids will follow in your footsteps and take your advice. But, what if your footstep history was not one to be followed?

I’ll admit, in my early teens and 20’s, even though I was a Christian, my own rebellion led me to some devastating detours.

The good thing is, God never left me alone. He kept pursuing me, even though I didn’t want to be pursued. I wanted to do life on my own terms.

It took years of me struggling to make things happen, not relying on God for anything.

And just like that, one day I turned my life back to God. I asked for help and He gave it to me.

God brought me out of the pit and put me on the right path.

I do hope my kids follow God. Follow me? Not so much. I learned from my many mistakes. Mistakes I hope my kids don’t repeat.

Today I’m trying to be a Godly example to not only my kids and grandkids, but to those I meet, my friends and my church family.

Follow God as your example. He will lead you to brighter tomorrows.

Matthew 5:16 - “In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”
