Five years ago I would have never guessed or even could imagine having a son to celebrate Christmas with. As Ty and I "watch the snow" (it's imaginary) fall I'm amazed that I'm Ty's dad. God gave us an incredible gift when he gave us Ty as a son. Ty is a gift, we didn't "deserve" to be his parents, God didn't have to bless our home with Ty. With this incredible gift came unbelievable responsibility, we are responsible to raise Ty to know God, to teach Ty how to love others, to disciple Ty. With this incredible gift and unbelievable responsibility comes tremendous potential. There is no telling what Ty will do with his life at this point, he could be president, he may be a doctor or a pro-baseball player, or the manager of a retail store. Fact of the matter is there is potential and we as parents have a huge role in helping Ty discover God's purpose for his life.
Parents what are you doing to with the incredible gift God has given you in your children? What are you doing with the responsibility? What are you doing to help your son or daughter achieve their full potential, to be who God wants them to be?
Christ followers God has given you and incredible gift in salvation. With that gift comes tremendous responsibility in sharing the good news of Jesus Christ with others. Can you even begin to understand the potential your life has when you live out God's purpose for your life?
It's a wonderful time of the year, a time to remember the gift, Jesus Christ.
