So, this was posted on facebook by Kristopher Ahn, and at first it seems silly, and it's not Christian or anything, but it was something that I really liked, and something I thought was pretty inspiring as well!
It's about pokemon, and about letters to Ash's father. I really encourage you to read them! Haha, ok, so most of them are just silly, and probably you won't really learn anything about them, but I liked the last comic the best...
Ash says
"If I ever have kids...
If I'm ever a father...
I want to be...the very best."
I know it may seem kind of cheesy to people, but I really like that kind of sentiment. I like it when I see people or hear about people who want to be good parents or stuff like that. I don't have experience or anything being a father, and I know that it'll be tough, but I think there's just something incredible in raising someone. To have someone who looks up to you and trusts you to guide and protect--who looks to you to teach them about lessons in life.
I like all the comics. Really cute, but so true. A lot of pastors talk about how they loved when their fathers said to them "good job son" (after their bball/football game or whatever).
ReplyDeleteAnd you know satire? How it tries to say criticism in a satirical way in hopes that it will be more effective than straight-out criticism? Well, I think people can adopt cuteness. Like have something cute that actually says something really serious, that really stabs at the heart of people, but portray it in a cute/silly way, so it's not super cliche and so people don't blow it off and harden their hearts towards it.
Its been interesting to see how JW interacts with his kids here on Big Break, and just how different it was from my dad. I have a lot to thank my dad for where I am right now spiritually, but apart from that we didn't do anything. I think I'm at a complete loss as to raise children.
ReplyDeleteMaybe try to run some tests on some young kids in the youth group
