Thanks Jon for this video. Amen to everything you said!
It's amazing when a father is non-judgmental and just loves his children. That doesn't mean he never disciplines them, but he doesn't judge them, only loves and guides. Once, as a child, I told a lie and felt very bad about it. I knew I needed to confess and repent but I was scared. When I told my dad he just hugged me and said thank you and reminded me not to do it again. I'll never forget it. God is the same I think.
My father passed away 1 month before I was born. Us 4 kids grew up before my now step-father came into our family. I realized today,that he has been a good step-father because he has taken good care of my Mom. She needs him and deserves him, so maybe our father's most important job is taking care of our mothers. Our heavenly Father has been more of a father to me then I could ever imagine a father could be. I wished them both a Happy Father's Day today. It's good to have you posting again, Jon!
@jedribit That is so true! I've heard many times from wise people that one of the best (in some cases, they say it's "the best") thing that a father can do for his children is love his wife, their mother. It seems so right because when a mother and father are happy together, they are free to give their love to their children unrestrained without distraction.
Love you too! I'll say one of my favorite qualities about a good father is his ability to teach patiently. I've seen it in our own father, where he'll just stick with me until I get something, and I don't think I've ever seen him be impatient with me, even if it takes me awhile to get the hang of it. It's a safe place to learn, and I love it. =)
