A young pastor in
Ohio also worked at a feed processing plant in order to make ends meet. Each
night when he went home, his boys would look at him & say, “Boy, Dad, you
sure are dusty!” He would grumble to
himself, but then smile & say, “Yes, I sure am dusty.”
One Saturday
morning, as he was washing his car, he looked over & saw his oldest son, 4
years old at that time, begin to pick up small stones from the driveway &
rub them onto his pants.
The father asked,
“What are you doing?”
“I want to be dusty
like you dad,” came the reply.
As the pastor was
telling the story he said, “At that time, I realized that if a son would look
up to his father for being dusty, he would look up to dad for anything.
What a
responsibility.”

fathers - be as good as you can be - because your sons and daughters will
follow in your footsteps." - Duane Chapman

"Assume your own responsibility."
