Happy Fathers' Day to all men!

My purpose in these posts is to bring a variety of Christian and other writers in a desire to share significant writings that in my estimation contribute to the common good and directly or indirectly give glory to God and extend the Lord's work of salvation to all of humanity. G.S.

It's not easy to be a man, or a woman, but we become more human with every thought, decision, word, action, gesture, attitude, and prayer....

It's not easy to be a mother, or father, but we become more generative with every gift of self to our spouse, our children, and our neighbor....

God disciplines us his children, and the more we accept it the holier and more loving, more truthful, more just, more good, more beautiful we become, and we in turn are to discipline those in our care with the same firmness, kindness, and loving mercy our heavenly Father and our Lord Jesus shows us, in the life giving Holy Spirit.

Happy Fathers' Day!
