A friend posted a video of an athlete whose hamstring tore during a 400 meters race. The chap got up and started limping towards the finish line. During that tremendous effort his father ran to his assistance and made it to the finish line with his injured son. Oh what intimacy! Fathers and mothers your sons and daughters need you by their side to help them finish successfully the race of life with all its ups and downs.
Parents come forward and hold your children. Help them stand up and give an account of themselves, for indeed they will give an account of you. For the many fathers and mothers who are getting it right, thank you. God bless your efforts to be responsible parents in response to your children.
Your life giving efforts for your household’s sake is commendable keep it up. Parents doing the best you can, sometimes alone, to hold the family together, stand up tall. Families help a society stand tall when it raises good children. God bless.
