Your Question:
What will happen to my kids when I'm gone?
Answer:
As a father, I've often thought about what will happen to my kids when I'm gone. I want to know that they'll continue to follow in the Lord's ways and that they'll be blessed by their relationships with each other. I've poured my heart and soul into raising them to know and love God, and I pray that they'll continue to grow in their faith even when I'm no longer here. I remember a conversation I had with my wife, Susan, about this very topic. She reminded me that even though our children will grow up and leave the nest, our prayers will still have an impact on their lives. We may not be able to tell them what to do, but we can continue to declare God's Word over them and pray for their well-being. I'm grateful for the hope that Jesus will always be the foundation of our relationship with our kids, and that He will give us opportunities to grow together in wonder at who God is and how He works in our lives. As I look to the future, I pray that my children, Joshua and Rebecca, will develop a hunger for the things of God and become passionate Jesus followers. I want them to know that the things of God are top priority and that they'll live a life that's pleasing to Him. I pray that they'll fear God and live a longer and better life, and that they'll be blessed by their relationships with each other and with God.
