It is impossible to overstate the need for prayer in the fabric of family life.
When these parenting years have passed, something precious will have flickered and gone out of my life. Thus, I am resolved to enjoy every day that remains in this fathering era.
My dad and I hunted and fished together. How could I get angry at this man who took the time to be with me?
Can't you see the Creator of the universe, who understands every secret, every mystery, sitting patiently and listening to a four-year-old talk to Him? That's a beautiful image of a father.
