Your Question:
Can I still be a good parent even if I'm dying?
Answer:
As I reflect on the question of whether one can still be a good parent even if they're dying, I am reminded of the importance of prayer and seeking God's guidance in parenting. As a pastor, I've seen the impact that a parent's love and devotion can have on their children, even in the face of adversity. The Bible reminds us that we cannot guarantee the eternal salvation of our children, but we can be the primary instrument in their spiritual growth and instruction (Proverbs 22:6). As a parent myself, I know that I am not perfect, and I will make mistakes. But I also know that God's love and guidance can help me to be the best parent I can be, even in difficult circumstances. The Bible tells us that God's goodness and love are irrefutable, and that we can find strength and stability in Him, even in the face of adversity (1 Corinthians 10:11-14). This gives me hope that, even if I'm dying, I can still be a good parent to my children, Joshua and Rebecca, and help them to grow in their faith. As I look to God for guidance and support, I am reminded that parenting is a journey that requires patience, love, and devotion. It's not about being perfect, but about being present and available to our children. Even if I'm dying, I can still pray for my children, ask God to fill me with His love, and seek His guidance in my parenting. This gives me peace and hope that, even in the most difficult circumstances, I can still be a good parent and help my children to grow in their faith.
