Snippet from the Show
A father’s blessing gives firm family roots.
Shownotes
Sirach 3:9
For a father’s blessing gives a family firm roots, but a mother’s curse uproots the growing plant.
Sirach 3:12
My son, take care of your father when he is old; grieve him not as long as he lives.
Sirach 3:13
Even if his mind fails, be considerate with him; revile him not in the fullness of your strength.

Gosh, an eye opener for what real Father’s are supposed to be. I love my dad so much, but this does not fit your description of a father. the only part he got right was he loved my mom and she loved him so very much. Don’t get me wrong, he loved his family, but he worked 18 hrs a day to provide for mom and the 6 of us. He was an electrical engineer. He built quite a name for himself and his firm in Seattle, Washington. We always had him with us when we went camping a few times a year or going to Montana to see his mom and dad and mom’s mom and dad and all of our cousins….i will never regret those vacations or knowing my relatives. My dad has had Alzheimer’s and currently in the later stages of it…I will always love him more. He does love God somewhere in his mind. I shouldn’t have opened my message as I did, in the days we were growing up, my dad did the best that he could.
Thank you for this podcast, opened my eyes
