Strengthen The Family

When I was a boy we had heroes.  I think today there is a lack of heroes.

To me, a hero is someone that sets a good example, meets challenges face on, and always fights for the right.  He or she is a person of honor and a believer of and fighter for truth.

In the days of my youth we always celebrated the birthdays of George Washington (see picture of George Washington) and Abraham Lincoln.  As we celebrated their birthdays we also studied their lives.  They were man of honor, who stood for truth and freedom despite tremendous odds.  They were heroes.  Now they are not celebrated very much andthat they are becoming more forgotten with each passing year.

Willie Mays, the great San Francisco Giants out fielder, was one of my heroes.  There were many others in the baseball and other sports in those olden days.  Though there may have been scandals among them, I don’t remember.  Today we hear of scandals among sports players on a regular basis.

I remember learning about Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier,  and the Swamp Fox by watching the Walt Disney hour on Sunday evenings.  They were true heroes.  I can still picture Davy Crockett fighting at the Alamo and the Swamp Fox outwitting the British to help win out war for independence.

Our children need to have heroes that they can look up to.  Mom and Dad, do you know who your children’s heroes are?  Talk with your children about it, and help them find true heroes.  And don’t forget that parents can and should be among the heroes that children look up to?

I invite you to comment on this post, telling us about one of your heroes.  Thanks.
