Your Question:
Will my kids remember me after I'm gone?
Answer:
As a father of two wonderful children, Joshua and Rebecca, I often think about the kind of impact I'll have on their lives. While it's true that they may not remember every single moment we spent together, the foundation we build in these early years will make all the difference. The training, the guidance, and the love I provide will shape them into the kind of people they'll become. Even though they may not recall every detail, the values and principles we instill in them will stay with them for a lifetime. As I reflect on my own relationship with my children, I'm reminded of the importance of prayer. When they were younger, I had the privilege of being their primary influence, but now that they're growing older, prayer becomes an even more vital means of shaping their lives. Even though I may not be able to tell them what to do, my prayers can still have a profound impact on their decisions and actions. I can declare God's promises over them, intercede on their behalf, and trust that He will guide them. In the end, it's not about the specific memories they'll retain, but about the kind of person they'll become. As a father, it's my hope that Joshua and Rebecca will grow up to be men and women of faith, who will make a positive impact in the world. Even when I'm no longer with them physically, my legacy will live on through the values and principles they've learned from me. And that's a thought that brings me great comfort and joy.
