A Loving Father
1 Timothy 5:8 “If anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for his immediate family, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.”
Some years ago I read an interesting story titled, “The Day That God Created Fathers.” It goes like this:
On the day that God created fathers an angel of the Lord stood in the background and watched. “Lord,” the angel asked, “are you sure you know what you are doing? If children are so close to the ground, why are you making fathers so high up? After all, they will have to kneel down if they ever shoot marbles with their children. They’ll have to lean way over to tuck them into bed at night, and they’ll have to bend so far down to kiss them.”
The Heavenly Father said, “Don’t worry; I know exactly what I’m doing. If I didn’t make fathers so high, what would children have to look up to?”
Then the Lord made the hands of a father. They were big and sinewy and awkward. The angel asked, “Have you really thought this through? Those fingers are so big and clumsy. How will they be able to handle the pins of a diaper or unbutton a little button? They will never be able to take a rubber band off of a ponytail, or remove a splinter from a finger.”
