“God changed my heart before He ever changed my life. That’s how I knew it was real.”
George Foreman
“My kids’ idea of a hard life is to live in a house with only one phone.”

Our job as fathers is to plant good seeds and be an example. Kids don’t need you to be perfect. What they need is to see that you try, that you love them, and that you lead with your heart. If you want your children to grow into good people, start by showing them how.
The best thing a father can do for his children is love their mother. It’s about respect. It’s about kindness. It’s about stability. Even if the relationship didn’t work out, the way you treat your children’s mother is something they will never forget.
I love the sunrise. I used to get up and take my kids out to see it. I’d say, “Look at that. This is a brand-new sunrise. You’ve never seen this before.” Every day is a second chance. That’s what I always believed.
I didn’t have the best start in life. But I had faith, and I had a second chance. I tried to be the kind of father who shows up, who forgives, and who leads by doing. And I learned that love, more than anything else, is what makes a man a real dad.
He was the proud father of 10 children, grandfather to 16, and great-grandfather to 3. Rather than go by “Dad” or “Grandpa,” George encouraged his family to simply call him “George.” He wanted them to know his name — not just as a title, but as something familiar and lasting, something they could speak with certainty, even as they grew older.As his family expanded, he found joy in watching his children raise their own — many of them guiding the next generation with the same faith and quiet strength they had learned from him. During the week, it wasn’t unusual for one or two of the younger grandkids to show up at his house. He’d take them out to the garden, where he taught them how to care for the land, how to work with their hands, and how to slow down and pay attention — lessons he believed mattered most.Thanksgiving was one of his favorite times of the year. The house would fill to the brim — long tables, every seat taken, kids running through the halls, voices layered with laughter and stories. It wasn’t about the holiday itself. For George, it was about togetherness. It was about seeing his family whole.
“I just don’t know how I was able to be a boxer in the first place without believing God.”
