Seventh grade Daniel was assigned to write a paper on the best role model in his life. When I read his finished work, my heart swelled with motherly AND brotherly love. There is so much suffering and struggle around lately. The tingly joy feeling Daniel's paper left inside me felt like a beacon in thick fog. Enjoy!
Role Model
By Daniel Fisher
Have you heard of a baby
that is only months old that has survived multiple heart and stomach surgeries?
Well that “Baby of Steel” is my older brother. Ever since I can remember, I have
always tagged along with Lucas. He is the only person I look up to, my role
model.
Lucas is always keeping
me laughing. His quick witted brain is a joke factory, and his jokes are always
creative. At the dinner table, he can make a boring story hilarious. Probably
the funniest part of Lucas is when he is just himself, when he’s not trying to
be funny at all.
God is very relevant in
Lucas’ life. He always goes to God first for all his problems before going to
anyone else. When he goes to church, he’s a big help and he plays guitar on the
worship team. Once Lucas had a person try to sell him drugs, and he responded by
giving him a Bible and showing him God’s love.
Even though he may see
me as his annoying little brother, he is always encouraging, and helping me.
Every day when I get home from school he asks me about my day and he gives me
advice about middle school. Musically, we are a team, and he is always
encouraging me and giving me tips to improve. Whenever I need help with
homework, he is there to help me in any way he can.

These two have come a long way! |
But obviously the most
important quality of his is his great love for God. He is the best
“Gospel-spreader” I know, and he loves God unconditionally. Lucas is a fantastic
role-model, and I couldn’t ask for a better one.
