GRACE
"DAD, WHAT IS IT? I'M BUSY."
Ties were strained in our family
when I called our son Dustin to tell him I had cancer.
But Love Himself and His grace came into our house
and turned our greatest challenge
into our greatest triumph as a family.
REVEALING THE FATHER'S LOVE
"I had always wanted the best for my sons, but looking back, I realized that I was more of a judge than a father. I often told them what they should do and say instead of revealing the love and nature of our Heavenly Father. Critical words and high expectations had been my primary tools for our connection, and they had squeezed the life out of our relationship....until I got cancer.
God spent that time to show me His favor and His grace. He reminded me how many times He had spared my life and kept me - and my family from harm. So when Dustin came to me with two big problems, I realized that God wanted me to not just embrace His love - but to give it away. There was a time and place for everything, but in this moment, my son didn't need my discipline - He needed my love and support. Now, my relationship with my family is stronger than ever - and what God revealed to me (and prompted me to do) has changed my family for generations to come. I want to share with you what rebuilt our relationship, restored our connection, and turned us into a family again." - Alan Williams |
