On being a Good Dad
How much does it cost to ‘buy’ the qualities of a good dad – being there, understanding your kids, honoring your wife, believing in your kids, letting the kids go through pain?
Last time I checked, it was free.
How many degrees does it take to learn this formula?
The answer is easy.
You don’t have to go to school at all.
Why?
Being a good dad is about being relational. It’s not what you can buy your kids, it’s not slick strategies or secret lessons.
It’s taking time to be there, to care, to get involved. That’s what a good dad is – relational.
He’s there. He cares.
Don’t worry about being a great dad. Just practice being a good one and your kids will be richly blessed.

And to all Daddies, AND to Daddy Wilson who always strives to give his best :
Happy Father’s Day!
We all love you.
And we thank God for you.

Thanks Wife! ๐ You and I know where all the strengths and wisdom come from. We both understand that world’s psychology lesson won’t solve human soul problems and the much needed role we need. How to love if we’ve never been loved? How to show appreciation if we’ve never been appreciated? May we have the wisdom from God alone. and I thank God for you.
