Lovely post Tee. Yesterday, I was just thinking about my father – all his attributes and character, and I became very grateful to God for the earthly father he gave me. Really, it’s a privilege. Then I just thought to myself, saying that ‘by God’s grace, my children, when I have them would also be EXTREMELY grateful to God for the kind of father (me) God gave to them’ – because I’ll apply what I’ve learnt from mine, his rights and wrongs.
Truth is, (to the guys) the decision to be a great/successful father starts today! It’s not till your wife puts to bed you decide to be one. Read books, learn from other people’s experiences, WRITE out your own plans on how you’ll train up your child now and build your home (God involved of course). 
Nice post bro… good advice for the future dad…For us who still have good fathers, we should take time to evaluate their impact in our lives and sincerely appreciate their efforts…being a father is one of the most unappreciated roles, everyone takes ur duties as normal.
Hmm…true Til, that’s a beautiful observation, and for those who don’t have their father around, i’m sure that there will be someone who stood in that role, mothers, guardian, family relative, they deserve our appreciation.
Amen…glad to know that the post was a blessing and that you found it inspiring.
How many of us has this happened to?. Your Dad makes a mistake and you tell yourselves that you would never make such a mistake,Or you’ll never do such to your kid. We are subconsciously setting our Dad’s as the standard for fatherhood. No matter How Great your Dad is,there’s No greater father than God. Your Dad learnt being a father on the job,He wasn’t 10 years experienced before he had some of us(first borns ). So therefore in preparation to being a father,pray for grace and look to books and most especially the Word How the most experienced father of all time did It(God) and I believe we will be the best fathers to our future homes.
“They just did”, the Teacher replied,”that is our Son’s essay”, she added amidst her tears.
