I Hope You Tell Him!

 

#IHopeYouTellHim

I hope you'll love your son so fiercely that he'll be able to know it when he finds her and reflect it daily as he pursues her...

I hope you learn to tell your son daily that he is enough and loved,
So that he doesn't waste his life pursuing stuff that have no eternal value...
So that he doesn't waste his energy on women who are opportunist...

I hope you tell your son daily that he has a great skin,
So that he doesn't define beauty in a woman through colourism but character.

I hope you tell your son that he is strong.
So that when the storms of life try to beat him
senseless, he'll remember your words and fight back tooth and nail.

I hope you'll tell your son daily, he never has to walk alone.
So that he'll learn to value true friendships and accountability before God and man.

I hope you'll tell your son that living responsibly sometimes will demand that he walks the straight and narrow path.
That not everyone will be cheering him on,all the time.
And that's okay!

I hope you'll tell your son that being a leader and a priest is part of his natural design.
I hope you'll model these as you raise him up because the world needs it.
Men of character and integrity!

I hope you tell your son that he's a King, and teach him to live and think like one.
So that he never tries to find it by pursuing money, women, drugs or status...

I hope you tell your son, it's okay to fail and make mistakes.
So that when he'll have failed big time and messed up, he'll come back to you, knowing he's not condemned and will take responsibility for his actions.

I hope you tell your son daily, he's never alone, God is within him.
So that when he's all grown up and you're long dead, he'll remember, he has someone else to talk to.
