A father’s love

Yesterday was Father’s Day. My Father passed in 2015. Yesterday I woke up and I was working on a home project so I had forgotten about Father’s Day. It wasn’t until I took a break that my Dad came to mind. My Dad would probably not fit today’s mold of what a dad should be. He used discipline. The real kind that you could feel. Before you start getting all bristled up let me finish. Before he would issue out any kind of discipline he would first take time to explain to you the wrong you had done and usually from the Bible explain the better way. I don’t have one bad feeling about my Dad. I couldn’t have been more loved by anyone. I knew when I was being disciplined that I had a lesson to learn. Colossians 3:21 says: Fathers, do not embitter your children or they will become discouraged. I’ve seen men yell and berate their children. They say awful things to them making them feel like total failures. To me, that is so much more abusive than a good old fashion spanking.Especially when it’s done out of love. The “experts “ wouldn’t agree maybe that physical discipline is a good way but when done in the right way is not harmful at all but very helpful. I’m living proof. I got a handful of spankings and I wouldn’t trade my Dad for anyone or anything. I was not embittered or discouraged by him at all. I owe him much gratitude for his loving way of teaching me right from wrong! Thank you Dad!!! Thank you Father God, for the discipline that you give us still today. You love us and show us the better way!!
Have a beautiful day!!
