The greatest honor came as people would look into my eyes and say, “You’re just like your father.” It was the ultimate compliment. That evening, I was able to do for my dad what he did for Grandpa almost 30 years before. I became a pillar of strength for family and friends to lean on. And I learned how to do that just by watching my dad. During one of our last “traditional drives,” I shared with my dad what I had observed of him at Grandpa’s funeral, and the profound effect it had on my life and ministry. I shared how it transformed the way I could reach out to people in tough situations. I so remember his surprised response. “George,” he said, apparently stunned, “I don’t even remember how I acted that day. And on top of that, I didn’t know you were watching.” He didn’t know I was watching. Fathers often don’t realize what powerful role models they are—that their children watch their every move. They observe them and study their mannerisms. They note how their fathers handle themselves in the good and tough times. They learn by their example. Don’t look now, Dad, but you’re being watched. Your children’s eyes are upon you. Just make sure that what you are doing is worth their watching. Dads, make a commitment today to let everything you do reflect the heart of God. Speaking kind words, reaching out to others and displaying joy in your home are just a few of the life lessons our children learn through observation. “Therefore be imitators of God [copy Him and follow His example], as well-beloved children [imitate their father]” (Ephesians 5:1, "Amplified Bible, Classic Edition").
