Faith & Family

The Pillars of My Life: Faith and Family

When I reflect on what truly matters in life, two things stand out above all else: faith and family. But for me, faith is the most important. It is the bedrock upon which everything else is built, including my family. Without faith, my family would not have the foundation it needs to thrive.

Faith: The Cornerstone

Faith isn’t just a part of my life—it is the core of who I am. It has guided every decision I’ve made, especially when it came to raising my family. I saw it as my assignment from God, a calling to live in a way that honors Him. It is this commitment to faith that has allowed me to lead my family with purpose and conviction.

As a father, I took this responsibility seriously. My wife and I ensured that our children were raised in the church, seeing us honor God in all that we did. We introduced them to the teachings of Jesus and were beyond grateful when they made the decision to accept Him as their Lord and Savior. We even took them on mission trips, where they could experience the Great Commission firsthand and see the world through the lens of faith.

Family: The Blessing Built on Faith

Family is the greatest blessing in my life, but I know it wouldn’t flourish without the foundation of faith. Faith is what makes our family work. It has provided the moral compass and the sense of unity that holds us together.

Our children are now adults, and I am incredibly proud of the people they have become. They both embrace the values they were raised with, living lives that reflect the teachings of Jesus. Our family bonds are strong, and we make it a priority to spend time together, whether it’s on vacations or celebrating Christmas. These moments are precious, and the joy of being with my children and grandchildren is immeasurable. The four grandchildren we’ve been blessed with—two from each of our children—are a big bonus and bring so much joy into our lives.

Faith and Family: The Unbreakable Bond

In my life, faith comes first, and family follows close behind. But it’s faith that makes the family work. It’s the glue that holds us together, providing us with the strength, love, and unity we need to thrive. Without faith, our family wouldn’t have the foundation it needs.

As I continue on this journey, I remain committed to nurturing both my faith and my family. These are the pillars of my life, the unshakable truths that guide me every day. And for that, I am deeply grateful.
