71st Birthday: Thirty Lessons I Learned from My Father
The love of a father is essential for the healthy development of children. The role a father plays in a child’s life is invaluable, and his efforts should never go unrecognized. May God bless every father and husband who faithfully fulfills their responsibilities, continually striving to embody the qualities of Jesus Christ.
I remember how my dad worked tirelessly to create wonderful memories for us—poems and songs he composed, scriptures he shared as our own, early morning hymns that filled our home, and the gentle way he carried us to bed. He prayed with us, got us ready for school, helped us with our homework, engaged us in meaningful conversations, and prepared our meals with love.
He would leave us little gifts tucked inside letters that simply read, “Just because I love you.” Our rough-and-tumble play with him and my mom was filled with joy. Washing clothes by the dam, where he’d transform the task into a playful adventure, splashing around with us as he playfully lifted us into buckets of water. Family prayer picnics on the hills of Zuru remain vivid in my heart, showcasing his spontaneous acts of love and sacrifice.
How else can one define love? A goldly, responsible and compassionate Daddy is indeed Love personified. Every child is a blessing; cherish the moments you have with them. Remember, children grow up and eventually leave home, and what will endure is the love, time, attention, and sacrifices you invested in their lives.
It doesn’t matter how bad your Parents treated you, to end the cycle you would have to reach out to them in love. Forgive them and set yourself free. Love and support them by faith that’s how to plant seeds of righteousness in your own home, yes by forgiving your own parents.
I love you, care and know that you can thrive!
Thirty Lessons to take note and relish….
- What ever you do, do as unto the Lord.
- Don’t ever over explain your self, people would believe what they want to.
- Who ever offends you, didn’t really offend you but God, if God can forgive them, why hold on to their grievances.
- A man who would not change for the sake of God will not change for you, accept the love of a man who loves the Lord and he will keep his vows to you for Gods sake.
- What is it with women with attention, the attention you need has been given by your creator don’t seek it elsewhere, you would be disappointed where the flesh rules, expect reassurance from He who created the heart and placed His love.
- Your children are not yours but Gods, treat them as His, and He will bless you.
- Be faithful to your spouse, so your children don’t pay for your carelessness.
- Love God enough, so you can model Christ to your family first then the world.
- Who are you that people won’t treat like trash? If they could kill Jesus Christ who raised their dead and healed them who are you compared to our Lord and Savior, stay humble.
- It is God who gives us grace to love Him rightly, stay on His word until you get it.
- The easiest way to be compassionate towards people who treat you wickedly is to look at them as humans who don’t know God, what else can you expect from one who refuses to give his or her heart to God who gave them the heart in the first place.
- Love can be wasted, don’t waste it. Don’t throw your expensive jewelry to swans.
- You cannot survive a day without God, remember He is the air you breathe not a man made life.
- Respect your husband, do things for him as unto the Lord but don’t forget to let God be God.
- Be a giver, don’t forget to save a part for yourself though, to improve on yourself and be compassionate to your self. What you give is really what is indeed yours.
- There is no purpose in life, only in God.
- Don’t marry a fool. A fool says there is no God, a fool makes fun of the things of God. Don’t be a fool too.
- Sex is spiritual believe it or not. Experimenting out side of marriage is deadly, it only brings calamity and wars. That’s what is wrong with our world today, we think we can be loyal to two masters.
- I have no reason to tell your mother to pack and Go, it is an insult to God who showed me mercy by giving me your mother.
- You are my girls, intelligent, beautiful, priceless and you can always know you come first.
- Mind your thoughts, choose your words but tell God everything.
- You owe your spouse the truth.
- The word of God will lead you to victories.
- Education is not only the key but a light in a world of confusing opinions.
- Thrive for excellence, but give God the first place. Education infact sets you a part from every other kind of girl.
- Don’t eat because there’s so much on the table, eat because you are hungry.
- Sleep only when you have done the job. Clap for your self and see good in you, you don’t have to wait on humans always for a compliment.
- Be kind, be happy, be grateful and stay in His Love.
- Don’t live a life controlled by the love of Mammon instead live ready for the Rapture.
- Make sure your family is ready for His second coming any day now Christ will return.
