Happy Father\'s Day!

Just wanted to wish all of the dads, step-dads, grand-dads, great grand dads, foster dads, etc. a very Happy Father's Day! Below is something that appeared in my local newspaper...the author is unknown... "Being an earthly father is helping me to become a better son to my Heavenly father.  Let me explain, my 9-year-old son questions the decisions his mom and I make for him.  And from his perspective, I can see that his reasoning makes perfect sense. The problem is that we, his parents, see things he doesn't see.  We see things farther down the road that he has no experience in.   And we see immediate problems and dangers that he doesn't have a clue about or wouldn't appreciate if he did know about them. When I see how he resists our leading and is acting only by faith in his own partial knowledge and limited understanding, I get a small sense of what God must be made up against when He is trying to lead me.  I realize I am little different than my son.  I also realize that if I have my son's best interest at heart imagine my Heavenly Father's motive concerning me.  That understanding helps me be a little more trusting of God and a little more willing to follow Him without first throwing a "tantrum"."
