LIFE AS WE SEE IT: June 2011

Faithful Available Teacher Helps Encourage Responsibility

What does that mean to many of us. Today is the day we celebrate fathers. The “fathers” who have been there for their child, have fed them, bath them, teach them, clothed them and many other things that are involve in nurturing a child. The fathers, who knows what it takes and if not, learns what it takes to bring up a child to survive in the world today and executes that knowledge to the best of their ability. Fathers, who are proud, upstanding and can be given the name “Parent” and not “Sperm Donor”. A caregiver and caretaker of a child whether they are biologically theirs or not.

For those of you who have such a father, hug him and tell him thanks, show him your appreciation for what he have done and given you because not all of us are that fortunate. Some of us end up with the opposite side of the coin and that is if we see the coin to begin with.

For the fathers who are raising their child, please continue to do so and if you want to know if you are doing a good job, observe the response that you get from your child and the people close to you and not so much the feeling that you have.

There are too many dead beat fathers in the world today. Either they think they are doing a good job and is not or they are not doing any job at all and even non-existent in their child’s life.

For those who had a great father but he is no longer with you, say a prayer and thank him for what he has given you when he was alive and in your life.
