Your Question:
Will my kids remember me after I'm gone?
Answer:
As I sit here thinking about my own children, Joshua and Rebecca, I know that their memories of me will be shaped by the time we have together. While they're still young, I'm grateful for the opportunity to pour into their lives and create a solid foundation for their future. Although they may not remember every detail, the values and principles we instill in them during these early years will have a lasting impact on who they become. As a parent, I've learned that it's not about being perfect, but about being present and intentional in their lives. I've made my share of mistakes, but I've also had the privilege of watching my children grow and learn from their experiences. I've seen them make mistakes, face challenges, and overcome obstacles, and through it all, I've been reminded that my role is not to control their lives, but to guide them and point them towards Jesus. As I look to the future and think about the day when Joshua and Rebecca will leave home, I take comfort in the knowledge that my prayers will continue to have an impact in their lives. Even though I may not be able to tell them what to do, I can still declare God's promises and love over them. And I know that as they grow and mature, their memories of me will be shaped by the love and values we've shared together, and the hope of a loving Father who will always be with them.
