Once again, we were walking in grace.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/favorite-products\/walking-in-grace-2023-devotional\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Walking in Grace<\/em>. <\/a>It\u2019s the new title for an annual book of devotionals that I\u2019ve been contributing to even before Tim and his older brother Will were born. A new title? Perhaps. But the concept is as familiar as God\u2019s daily walk with us. Here\u2019s a sneak preview of this upcoming book:<\/p>\n<p class=\"rteindent1\"><em>As a father has compassion for his children, so <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/health-and-wellness\/better-living\/emotional-and-mental-health\/why-kindness-is-so-important-to-our-happiness\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the Lord has compassion<\/a> for those who fear him.<\/em> \u2014Psalm 103:13 (NRSV)<\/p>\n<p class=\"rteindent1\">I needed something to wear to the gym and grabbed a colorful old T-shirt from the bottom of a drawer. \u201cSuper Dad,\u201d it said in cartoon script, and \u201cMan of the Hour,\u201d along with a list of all the qualities a Super Dad should have: \u201cFaster than a speeding lawn mower, more powerful than the lid of a pickle jar, able to diet without losing a single pound&#8230;it\u2019s a repair man&#8230;it\u2019s a cash machine&#8230;it\u2019s Super Dad.\u201d A long-ago present from my boys. Must have been for my birthday or Father\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rteindent1\">\u201cLooks just like you,\u201d some friend said, checking out the shirt. I\u2019d already forgotten I had it on. I looked in the mirror while lifting some weights\u2014not hugely heavy ones, mind you. I\u2019m not that super. I could see the big \u201cD\u201d in reverse. How did I measure up as a dad?<\/p>\n<p class=\"rteindent1\">I\u2019ve never driven a lawn mower. I\u2019m lousy at repair jobs. I couldn\u2019t open most tightly wound pickle lids without help from a jar opener, and heck, I\u2019ve never been one to attempt any sort of diet. But as far as cash machine goes, well, I would take <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/friends-and-family\/family\/a-handwritten-prayer-gave-him-a-deeper-understanding-of-his-late-father\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">my own father<\/a> as example. Even when we were grown\u2014especially as we were launching out in our careers\u2014he\u2019d dip his hand into his pocket and pull out a couple of twenties and say, \u201cYou should take these. I\u2019m sure you have a need for it.\u201d We did.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rteindent1\">The thing is when any of us look in the mirror, or at a selfie for that matter, we don\u2019t really see ourselves. That picture can best be found in the eyes of those we love. We are as super as they think. Clearly, I\u2019d kept that funny old T-shirt for a reason.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rteindent1\">May those I love see me with love as <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/friends-and-family\/pets\/how-chickens-brought-her-closer-to-her-teenage-granddaughter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">we mirror God\u2019s love.<\/a><\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not long ago, our younger son, Tim, and I were talking about being a dad, a relatively new role for him. \u201cI used to get so mad at you kids when you were little,\u201d I said to him. \u201cYelling so loud I was afraid the neighbors heard.\u201d \u201cYou never yelled at us,\u201d Tim said. \u201cWhat?\u201d [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":127,"featured_media":30848,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"ep_exclude_from_search":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[251],"tags":[285],"ppma_author":[476],"class_list":["post-24419","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-how-to-pray","tag-devotions"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.6 (Yoast SEO v27.4) -
