More Milestones

Three March Birthdays
This March is a month of milestones. 

My eldest boy (man) turns 16. He will get his driving permit very soon.
My youngest baby girl turns 1. She will be walking very soon.
My second boy (man) turns 14. He is becoming a man so quickly.

Where does the time go? When I realize these milestones are happening I usually do a little reflection, and get a tinge of guilt. 
Have I been the daddy I am supposed to be? Have I spent the time I should have spent? Have I trained or taught my children the important things that they need to know? Have I spent too much time at work, and not enough face time with each of my awesome kids? What more do I need to teach them? What more do I need to tell them? How much more time do I have with each of them? Are the things I do instead of spend time with them really more important? How can I do better? How can I erase the stupid mistakes I've made? Have I demonstrated to my boys how to be a Husband, Daddy and man of integrity? Have I demonstrated to my girls how they should expect a man to treat them with respect and honor? 
What more do I need to do to help them become the men and women who love God and bless others with their lives?

Proverbs 22:6 - Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.

Please God, blot out my mistakes and amplify anything I may have done right.
