Happy Uncle, Coach, Cousin, Teacher....Day!

By the way...I just sent out a link to our Isaiah 58, In His Service, Inc. email list. I commented, "Dear Dads, know that you are prayed for and remember your little ones are watching."


Sometimes I have tunnel vision. Billy Graham said, "The greatest tribute a boy can give to his father is to say, `When I grow up, I want to be just like my Dad.' It is a convicting responsibility for us fathers and grandfathers."  I don't want to neglect the men who are making an impression on little ones and aren't the Dads!


There are so many children who don't have a Dad in their lives. Instead (or in addition to) they have an Uncle, a step-Dad, a Papa, an adoptive Dad, a Mentor, a Cousin, a Pastor, a Neighbor, a Teacher, a Coach...


Think of the little ones in your life and then stop and think about the men in their lives. Who is the example they are emulating? Who is teaching them right from wrong? Who is showing them how to be gentlemen? Who is praying with them? Who is encouraging them? Who is protecting them? Who is loving them?


All of us have a responsibility to the kidlets that God has put in our lives. Whether they are relatives or neighbor kids or our very own...we are called to teach.


So, to those of you who are not "officially" Dads...but are Godly men and aware that little ones are watching....THANK YOU, you are making an impact in eternal ways! Psalms 103:13
