Fatherhood

It's Sunday- hard to choose what to write about on Sunday's.  It's the easy day since I'm surrounded by Him in the people and places on Sunday mornings.
This morning started out with our first STF gathering.  It was sweet and simple- youth and adults sharing their joys and concerns with each other.  God was there smiling at the beginings of something great!
My youth class is student led.  Each week, a youth volunteers to lead a class focused on a movie clip and how it related to God and christianity.  It has been so exciting to watch as the youth learn and grow and then share their faith and love for God!  Today, the youth brought up so many good discussion topics I think we could have 2 months of classes from todays clips!  And it's so exciting to watch them relate life today with God and christianity.  Hopefully, it makes it easier when they are experiencing things to be able to rely on what they have learned.
So, those were bits of God sightings.
And, here is one I'll close with.
After church, a group of us were chatting and discussing parenting.  Two men started discussing fatherhood.  And, it seems they both look to the other and admire them as fathers.  As they shared with each other, it was evident that God was there- that He was in their lives helping them to be the fathers of Christian daughters.   Two men who walked different paths are now on the same road raising their children to be children of God.  One of the father's shared that the other had been a great guide to him at one point.  And the other responded with telling him that was an answer to prayer- that everyday he prays for God to use him as a tool.  And so, in that moment, God was telling each of them how important they are to Him and to each other.  He put them along the same path for a reason- to encourage each other and to partner in helping share God's message with the youth.
 Proverbs 22:6
Train children in the way they should go; when they grow old, they won’t depart from it.
