If I Were a Father…

 

One day I would like to have a big family. First, I must be a faithful husband to my wife. If I have a large family, I will need to be very diligent as a worker so that I can earn enough money to support my family. What is a big family? Well, I would love to have eight children! My first-born son will be named Robby Jr. and my daughter will be named Wendy, which means very beautiful. I will need to buy a double-decker house to provide enough room for all my children. A large family will have lots of fun together!

As a family, I would like to serve God anywhere, in church, foreign countries, neighborhoods, and other places as well. To do that, I’ll teach my children the Bible [including our world view], bring them to church faithfully, and teach them the wisdom of my parents and grandparents. Also, to top it off, we’ll find ways to help the missionaries who were being a witness to those who never heard the story of Jesus: take Tanzania for example. We can do the same in our town.  

And last-but-not-least, I would spend time with my family. I can play games with my kids, teach them how to work hard, and maybe take them on vacation to my dad’s favorite campground – Yogi Bear! I sure hope God will allow me to be the man and dad He wants me to be.
