when i did become a father

This is a movie about how to be a father.
The first time I watched it was years ago, my father was still alive and I was a son.
For the second time today, my father is no longer there, I have become a father.
The image of my father gradually blurred, and he occasionally appeared in my dreams. But he had a deep influence on me, and I still hope that he will accompany me by my side to this day. Maybe I don't need him to make decisions for me, but I really need his company and support very badly. As in the plot of the movie, when the hero asks his buddies, when did you first feel like you were a man. I have thought about this question for a long time. My answer was when I left my father, left home, and was able to live on my own. My father wasn't perfect, but he loved me deeply. I love him a lot too, but I still don't love him enough. I would say that fathers are really important. The importance of a father is like a place where you have shelter from a heavy rain.
Today, I look at my son who is still babbling. A feeling in my heart. Would I not just be a good enough father? Will I be dutiful to help him and guide him? Will I give up my hobbies, spend time with him, and grow up with him? I am convinced that I have to take on the role of a man, the role of a husband, the role of a father.
Thank God that this movie was made by human hands.
I've often wondered why so many great film critics insist on a peculiar plot, an unsatisfactory ending.
I watch this movie, not just like it's a movie. The bits and pieces in it are our daily life. There are different families, different fathers, how fathers are responsible, and people with different talents. It is better to practice the valuable content in it than to compare the film itself. "So, no matter what you want people to do to you, you should also treat people the way you want." Thanks.

Courageous quotes

    Adam Mitchell: So where are you men of courage? Where are you, fathers who fear the Lord? It's time to rise up and answer the call that God has given to you, and to say, "I will. I will. I will."

  • Adam Mitchell: ...I now believe that God desires for EVERY father to courageously step up and do whatever it takes to be involved in the lives of his children. But more than just being there providing for them, he is to walk with them through their young lives and be a visual representation of the character of God, their father in heaven. A father should love his children, and seek to win their hearts. He should protect them, discipline them, and teach them about God. He should model how to walk with integrity and treat others with respect, and should call out his children to become responsible men and women, who live their lives for what matters in eternity. Some men will hear this, and mock it. Or ignore it. But I tell you that as a father, you are accountable to God for the position of influence he has given you. You can't fall asleep at the wheel, only to wake up one day and realize that your job or your hobbies have no eternal value, but the souls of your children do. Some men will hear this and agree with it, but have no resolve to live it out. Instead, they will live for themselves, and waste the opportunity to leave a godly legacy for the next generation. But there are some men, who regardless of the mistakes we've made in the past, regardless of what our fathers did NOT do for us, will give the strength of our arms and the rest of our days to loving God with all that we are and to teach our children to do the same. And whenever possible to love and mentor others who have no father in their lives, but who desperately need help and direction. And we are inviting any man whose heart is willing and courageous, to join us in this resolution. In my home, the decision has already been made. You don't have to ask who will guide my family, because by God's grace, I will. You don't have to ask who will teach my son to follow Christ, because I will. Who will accept the responsibility of providing and protecting my family? I will. Who will ask God to break the chain of destructive patterns in my family's history? I will. Who will pray for, and bless my children to boldly pursue whatever God calls them to do? I am their father. I will. I accept this responsibility and it is my privilege to embrace it. I want the favor of God and his blessing on my home. Any good man does. So where are you men of courage? Where are you, fathers who fear the Lord? It's time to rise up and answer the call that God has given to you and to say I will. I will. I will!
