Raising kids doesn’t always feel profound in the moment. It’s messy, loud, ordinary. But over time, the weight of it sneaks up on you. A reminder that joy doesn’t come from ease, but from giving yourself fully. Raising Godly kids is proof of work in the purest form — slow, costly, unseen. You may not see the return for years, maybe ever. But then a little voice says, “I love you, Daddy,” and in that moment, the whole investment makes eternal sense. In their eyes, we meet both God’s grace and our purpose.
