Tonight my husband and I went to see the movie "Courageous." Being in law enforcement, he got to go to a special viewing of the movie several months ago and said it was a must see for all fathers. After seeing it, I agree but would say it's a must see for all mothers too. As mothers we need to encourage fathers to be the father that God has called them to be. While we are a team, he is meant to be the team leader and might need a cheerleader every once in awhile. I must say, I have been blessed with a man of courage and integrity....thank you, God!
Tonight also brought to mind what a Christian leader truly is. A Christian leader could be simply defined as a "good shephard" as found in John 10:11. A shephard guides the sheep to their destination while providing for their physical and emotional needs. It's about thinking of the sheep and not just about yourself. As parents, it's about focusing on your children's needs and recognizing when we're just "good enough." It's about providing an environment that allows for growth, learning, understanding and encouragement to achieve a goal. The same can translate in our professional lives. I always keep in mind that Jesus took on the role of a servant and was the ultimate leader. He knew it was about more than Him!
