This past Sunday we had a guest speaker at Crossroads. The highlight of the sermon was that fathers have a purpose of making their families legendary through fulfilling God's purpose by creating offspring that take on your Christian values and morals in life. We are not made to be nomads, but to have a home and a family that loves us. This is something that I am praying about as I have often struggled with seeing a purpose in having kids. I never told anyone this because I was afraid I would lose some maternal value.
However, this week the sermon made me think about what my family stands for and how I have been influenced by this. My family stands for individuality. There is no expected age for marriage, having kids, etc. I am not the first one who is single over the age of 25 and not one family member has stated, inferred, or "joked" that this is wrong. I am beyond grateful for this.
My family does not give into addictions. While working in the restaurant industry I met too many people that believed drugs/alcohol/smoking/porn were the highlight of their life. My family is nothing like that. Enough said.
My family does not hold grudges and allow others to get the better of them. We laugh too much and work hard for what we have on this earth. We like to read and get aspired by new knowledge. We go to church and we value the Bible.
I am Sarah and I am praying for my "Abraham" to be a great leader/husband/father..... because starting a family of my own is starting to sound pretty good:)
