A man and his son were climbing a mountain. They came to a place where the climbing became quite difficult, to the point of being dangerous. Any misstep at this point could spell disaster. The father stopped to consider which way he should go. From below he heard his son call out, “Choose the good path, Dad; I’m coming right behind you!”

These words should ring in the ears of every father! Dads everywhere should be very careful about the path they choose for themselves, because their children often follow right behind.

“Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.”—1 Corinthians 11:1.
