You've heard it said that anything worth doing is challenging, and fatherhood certainly falls into that category. Being the dad our children need us to be requires a lot more than simply waking up in the morning and going about our day. We have to be intentional and work at building relationships with our children so that we can understand their needs.

As we aim to be the dads our children need, we find ourselves faced with a couple of obstacles. Firstly, this goal requires us to grow and become something that we may not currently be. Secondly, being the dad our children need is not always the same as being the dad our children may want.

Even though this pursuit comes with its difficulties, the impact of our effort is immense. What we build and establish with our children influences the lives of those with whom our kids connect. We may never fully realize the scope of that impact, but it makes this journey called fatherhood so worth it.
