Things I Wish My Father Knew #7 How to Handle Anger and Disappointments

Among the treasures of fatherhood

are shared moments of accomplishment

with your child –

times when your child

follows the right path

and make you proud – SUCCESS!

There are other moments also – FAILURE!

Times when your child

want to go his own way…

moments filled with

rebellion,

wrong choices,

disappointment.

How can you handle these times of

strained relationship,

disillusionment,

anger?

At times such as these,

your Heavenly Father’s example

can give you patience and courage

to sustain you while you await

the return of your wayward child.

And, He can help you maintain LOVE

sufficient to greet your

returning prodigal

with open arms –

just as the Father,

wait for YOU!

“As a father has compassion

on his children,

so the LORD has compassion

on those who fear him”
(Psalms 103:13)

“Train a child

in the way he should go,

and when he is old

he will not turn from it”

(Proverbs 22:6)

THINK BIG. START SMALL. GO DEEP.
