I Want to Be Like Mike !

My beloved children and brothers and sisters in Christ, The title is a well used phrase when Michael Jordan was a basketball star for the Chicago Bulls. I honestly never had a chance to know my earthly dad. He and Mom split when I was very young, but I still have the image of seeing him going down the stairs with his suitcase. My Mom remarried when I was a teenager. The person she married was a highly respectable lawyer and entrepreneur. He wanted good things for us and treated us well. I remembered that I wanted to be like him; a well educated professional and have a family to support and take care of us. I also influenced by my uncles who all married and have families. For a very long time, I did not realize that I the best Father to emulate is our God in Heaven. Now that I am a Christian, I strive every day to be like Christ in everything I do and say. I continue to make mistakes, but I know that someday (when He returns to take us home) I will be like My Father in heaven.
