“The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother.”—Theodore Hesburgh
I have a mantra—simply the title words from Gale Sayer’s autobiography, I Am Third. It comes from a quote Sayer’s learned from his college track coach: “My God is first, my family is second, and I am third.” It is often easier said than done. It is the most important lesson I have learned (and struggle to continue to learn) as a husband and father.
In a world where far too many children are raised without fathers and absent fathers (and fathers who are in the home but nevertheless absent), it is important to honor the mothers who raise the young. It is important to love and prayer for our mothers and to thank them.
Happy Mother’s Day!!
Be your best today; be better tomorrow!!
