*I read a blog that had a awesome poem about a special Grandmother. I knew neither of my Grandmothers, but I knew my Grandaddy. The poem was deep and influenced me to think of him. This was something I wrote for Fathers in which I used the memories and facts about my GrandFather*:
YOU are the leaders and protectors of the world. "God" Blessed you with all the tools needed to be a major success and a Blessing to your children's children. Proverbs 13:22 states, "A good man leaveth an inheritance (this word means many more things than just money) to his children's, children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just. Just as "God" Blessed David to provide all the resources for Solomon to be a major success, "God" does all the same things for you as a Father.
Every man that findeth a wife, findeth a good thing and obtaineth favor of the "Lord". Remember we already have "God's" love, mercy, long suffering and sacrifice. Ask "Jesus" (John 3:16). Place your name in the word world and whosoever. A wife is not found because her price is far above the price of rubies. A wife is given as a direct "Gift" to, for and with You (The Father). She cannot be bought or earned (Proverbs 31:10-31). A wife is a further means of additional Blessings from "God" not including your children. A child or children, son's and daughter's are additional Blessings directly from "God" to You (The Father).
Psalm 127:3-5 states, "As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath His quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate (This can mean within your immediate circle or the enemies placed by satan to block or thwart success). The same children you have lead and protected will become the same to You. This is a reciprocal relationship. You as a good Father thus real man realize inherently that your children are your direct attachment Blessing additionally from "God". Remember satan cannot create children; only "God" can do that. Children are never a mistake, only satan tries to make them seem that way.
Many good Fathers also tend to be Fathers to children outside of their own biologically. The community looks up to them. Children that have not fathers tend to link to them spiritually and become great success. Ask Shaquille O’neal the center for the Miami Heat. His biological Father gave up that Blessing for Shaq's Stepfather to reap all the good benefits from being a good benefit. "God" took the talent from another and gave it to another. To be a spiritual Father crosses the realms of biology. Read Psalms 27:10.
A good Father fits the scripture
1 Corinthians 7:2-5 as well as his wife.
The Father as a leader has the same office of a Bishop in his home, 1 Timothy 3:1-5. What one is at home has a direct affect upon everything you are and do.
I commend all men who are being real Fathers; You are the same spirit that "God" calls "Mighty Man of Valor".
Your day is everyday that is recognized as an official worldwide holiday. Those of us, who had no Father or father figures in our lives treasure, look for, role model and learn from Men such as You (Place Your Full Name).
I salute you in "Jesus" name. The whole wide world needs you so desperately. The truest models of morality and integrity.
The Father is the first form of "God" that children learn. The Mother also, but this article is geared for Fathers. Feel free to view or ask for my last article that was for Mothers Day.
There is the theory that everyone knows 250 people and that person knows 250 people... Exponentially the numbers are incalcuble. If you link this theory to Proverbs 22:6, "Train up a child in the way he/she/they should go: and when he/she/they is old (adult), he/she/they will not depart from it. Many people say erroneously, "Will not stray far from". The Bible states will not stray from it. The "it" is the total process of molding the child/child's life linked to "God"(the only positive way).
Good (Great) Fathers know personally the scripture, "children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their Fathers. "God" gets the praise through the exalting of You directly by your children and grandchildren and succeeding generations forever and forever. Your child/children, son/daughter will have an affect upon countless people throughout life.
You as a good (great) Father know not to despise your children, which means to oppress. If one were to look up the word despise in a dictionary or thesaurus, one may be shocked at how long the definition of this word is and the multiple meanings. This scripture is found in Matthew 18:10.
Good Fathers love and nurture their children and provoke them not to wrath (Ephesians 6:4). I can write a book alone on this one scripture.
Oh thank you real Fathers/Real Men (as they say on the Tom Joyner Show), for being the type of person that provides for your own household and not like those men who do not. You the father are the total opposite of what the bible calls an infidel or non-believer. "God" addresses the opposite of you in 1 Timothy 5:8. No matter what they do, it does not matter. How can a male that is not being a Father, go on to prosper with a child or children in turmoil for those that are? Think about it.
"God" first, then children, mothers and others everywhere appreciate, respect and love you more than you may ever know.
I observed a Father with his son and daughter at a library in Atlanta, GA. Watching his interaction and giving him credit where due was an honor. His children admired him. One never knows how many people are watching. The timing of what you do is destiny and Blessed luxury for others that notice.
In this world the bad behaviors of negative Fathers are noticed, You as a Great Man/Father are not noticed enough. Many women pray for a man like you and young men as myself wish to be the epitome of what you are as a good man. There are many children that wish for a Father such as you.
Men such as you are never forgotten.
I have never forgotten my Grandfather, David Woodie Sr. who passed away when I was 17 and took my brother, sister and I out of our last foster homes.
My Grandfather on my Mother's side is the only real man I have ever personally known and a man that I aspire to mold myself after and can never forget. A man that picked oranges in an orange grove starting from the 4th grade. My Granddaddy raised 5 head of children in Palmetto, FL. Provided a house, car (always kept it as new) and paid the insurance man from over the fence. My Granddaddy was a "God" fearing man, always went to Church, and never knew him to curse, drink or smoke. He raised orange, grapefruit and cherry trees in his yard and walked to and fro from work and never wore a coat in the coldest of winter. Just a sweatshirt underneath his work shirt. My Granddaddy hummed a lot; I would have to insist on mowing the yard on Saturday mornings. Granddaddy would walk with his arms behind his back and when asked what was he doing, he would reply, "I am thinking". I find I am a deep thinker much like him.
I can go on and on. What I mention here is some of the inheritance that has been left with me to pass onto my children, thus my Grandfather's generations.
My Granddaddy was a brilliant man, he had a 4th grade education. He lived it as You (The Father) do.
The scripture of Proverbs 3:27-28 states to give credit where it is due. I give the collective whole of good Fathers your credit due.
Let us as children, men, wives, daughters, sons, relatives, friends and associates commend them and each good Father to good Father. As human beings, gratitude is needed.
Let us give him more than a pair of socks, ties, coffee mugs, etc. Let us give them a small sentimental lasting token of our love. Take Him out or cook him His favorite dinner and dessert. Give Him that gift and card that will bring a tear to his eyes when no one is looking. Give Him that deserved hug, kiss and handshake. You ladies as wives show Him how special he is tonight (something extra), respectfully. I promise you, he has plenty of fuel for you! Respectfully...
Give it to Him now while He is still on this earth.
Let us not have to go through the pain of having to wait to get to Heaven, to show Him His just and deserved value.
Yes there is conscious in Heaven, animals, trees, etc.
I do believe that couples, family, friends etc., are together that make it. This is a whole other topic area though.
I never told or knew how to tell my Granddaddy I loved him. He died all of a sudden the day after I told him I was coming to see him after school at the hospital.
My GrandFather was always strong and healthy and had never been a patient in a hospital before.
I was told he had passed away at lunch time during my Senior year.
It is common especially amongst many black men not to use the L-word.
I knew he did and I showed it also.
Just could never say that in the past.
Anyway...
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!!!!!!
"God" Bless
Sincerely
William
