FINISH STRONG

FinishStrong1 Corinthians 9:24 says: “Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.”
 
Men, fatherhood never finishes until your life is over. We begin fathering when the children start coming. Every young father should do all he can to assist his wife during “the baby years.” It is important for the father to regularly hold his baby and do his best to relate by speaking, smiling, and singing. As a loving husband, he should take every opportunity possible to assist with the extra chores that come with each newborn baby.. Baby bonding is extremely important.
 
Following the baby stage, the father should seek to be involved in every possible way with his children’s lives. As important as it is for children to learn to do chores, the father should realize that all children innately love fun. A wise father will seek to be a “fun father” with his children. It is wise for a father not to be a “sober-side,” but vice versa, not to be all fun without seriousness.
 
Be involved and available in every stage throughout your children’s lives, even when they are grown and married with their own children. Be a great finisher! Remember, fatherhood is not finished until you are finished!
 
Be encouraged.
