Are you looking for inspiration? This short film is focused on the roles of Dads to their sons. Sometimes we are unaware of what we do in front of small eyes that are intimately watching. Dads are role models and the success our kids in the future depends on how we rear them, the values we instill on them, and time we spend with them.
“Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”
Happy 2012! It’s a brand new year. New hope, new plans, new adventures. It’s really awesome to know deep in our heart, thoughts, and spirit, that we have a Father who holds our tomorrow, direct our steps, and brings peace, prosperity and love into our lives!
“Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.” Psalms 136:1

HOW DEEP THE FATHER’S LOVE FOR US LYRICS
How deep the Fathers love for us, how vast beyond all measure
That He would give His only Son, to make a wretch His treasure
How great the pain of searing loss, the Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the Chosen One, bring many sons to glory
Behold the man upon a cross, my sin upon His shoulders
Ashamed I hear my mocking voice, call out among the scoffers
It was my sin that held Him there, until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life, I know that it is finished
I will not boast in anything, no gifts, no powers, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ, His death and resurrection
Why should I gain from His reward? I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart, His wounds have paid my ransom.

Ben Breedlove posted his “This is my story” videos on Youtube on Dec. 18 and died one week later on Christmas Day. Since then, the videos were viewed over 2 million times. What’s his story?
Ben Breedlove narrated on handwritten flash card notes that he has cheated death 3 times as he has struggled with a dangerous and life threatening illness his whole life. It contained his accounts of near-death experiences – a story that everyone needs to see and reflect. This young man unselfish act of telling about what he had witnessed gives us some sense of direction, a glimpse of what is ahead after we leave this life. It inspires us about the hope of heaven. Ben surely knew where he was heading.
