Your Question:

How can I leave a legacy for my kids when I'm not even sure I'll make it?

Answer:

As a father, I've come to realize that leaving a legacy for my kids is not just about the time we spend together when they're young, but also about the impact we can continue to have on their lives even after they leave home. My son Joshua and daughter Rebecca are growing up, and I know that my role is shifting from being their primary caregiver to becoming a source of guidance and wisdom as they build their own lives.

One way to leave a lasting legacy is to continue praying for my children even after they've left home. As their father, my prayers can still have a significant impact on their lives, even if I'm no longer able to tell them what to do. I can declare God's promises over them, and trust that He will work in their lives to bring about His good plans. This is a powerful way to continue influencing my children's lives, even as they grow into independent adults.

As I look back on the years of raising my children, I know that I've made mistakes along the way. But I've also learned that a strong, loving marriage with Jesus at the center is a vital foundation for our family. By modeling a relationship that is built on love, forgiveness, and commitment, I'm giving my children a gift that will stay with them for the rest of their lives. And as they launch out into the world, I know that Jesus will always be the solid rock upon which our relationship stands, giving us opportunities to grow together in wonder and awe of who God is and how He works in our lives.
