Great Dad

Yesterday at lunch my oldest son, age 7, looked thoughtful.

"Mom," he said between bites, "when I grow up I'm going to be a train engineer and a Dad."

"That sounds good," I said. He continued, even though his mouth was full.

"Yep. I'll drive my train then come home right away. But not on the weekends. I won't drive my train on weekends. I'll stay home on the weekends, because my family will need me. And on Sunday, we'll go to church. Just like our family."

Every little boy watches his daddy to see what kind of daddy he should be one day. Every little girl watches her daddy to see what kind of man she should marry one day. I'm thankful my boys and girls have their Daddy to watch. He's teaching them all the right stuff.
