A week ago Monday Jason was leaving the house to go to our high school Christmas concert. Just before he walked out the door he handed me a piece of paper and told me to read it when he left. I told him later that he could not have given me a better Christmas gift. I wanted to share this with all of you.
Watching
Over the years I watched him talk to God.
Consulting Him every step he did take,
Asking for guidance down the path he trod.
He prayed about each decision he’d make.
I watched when his reputation was bruised
When it seemed there was nowhere to turn,
As by his friends he was wrongly accused.
How to live down a lie is what I learned.
I watched as he showed me how to forgive.
I saw him in trials turn to God’s Word.
When facing death, he taught me how to live,
As in that sickness he looked to the Lord.
He was the example for me God had,
And that’s what I learned as I watched my dad.

“…but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.” I Timothy 4:12b
One of the greatest gifts we can give to our children is the gift of a godly example.
