The Best Comment I Ever Received (So Far)
I always said that I wanted to be a father deserving of those corny plaques displayed at the Christian bookstores. If my boys ever gave me one of them, and I deserved it, then I would feel I had accomplished what God called me to do as a dad. I’m thinking now that I may need to contextualize that standard with the culture of the day.
Recently I posted on my blog “How My Family Has Shaped Me”. One of the comments will possibly be one of my favorite comments of all time. I will treasure this always. Here’s the comment:

As much as I critique, I also want to say that I realize the only reason I’m able to succeed at all the things I succeed in is because you have worked with me my whole life. You’ve taught me how to speak, how to lead, how to love, etc. So thanks for that. Don’t expect another positive comment for another 62 days…
I love it! Have your children honored you recently in some small way? How did it make you feel? What signs do you look to know that you are on the right track in your parenting?
