I was reading a post on another blog earlier and one point stood out and made me think. The quote from the blog was “Coach each player like he was gonna marry your daughter” ~John Wooden.
What made me think about it was how I need to do things now for my daughters future. I need to be praying now for her/their future mate. These are not new ideas for me; it has merely been brought to the front of my brain. Off of the "back burner" so to speak.
I don't have a clue who he is...where he is from...what he looks like. All I do know is that he is growing and maturing and forming ideas about life and it is my sincere prayer that the Lord move in this young man's life in a good way. That he have positive role models that will teach him and guide him in what is right and just. That he knows/learns how do deal with conflict with dignity and that he treats women (all women) with respect. These things I ask in Christ Jesus name, Amen.
