"Nothing can be better than being your child's hero." - Unknown
In 1982, Golden Pond - the story of a father and his daughter who
spend dedicated time on the waters of Golden Pond, forcing them to work
through their strained, relationship - was up for a bunch of awards
including; Best Picture, Best Actor, and best Supporting Actress for
Henry’s daughter, Jane. Henry won, and Jane bounded to the stage to
accept the award for her absent father. "Oh, Dad," she said,
overwhelmed, "I’m so happy, and so proud for you."...There was quite a
back story behind those 10 words.
Fathers, are important figures in the life of any child, and family anywhere in the world. Irrespective of how wealthy or poor a father is, his presence in the family gives so much emotional, and psychological stability to the child's self esteem. A father as a parent should be able to take decisions: for how his family should go.
A father should readily be able to invite honest, transparent communication with his children, one that truly allows God's Spirit to rule his actions and decisions. He should be able to advice his children, while he leaves them to decide for themselves - when they are adults. A father should be humble enough to apologize when he's in error, and make amends. He should not attempt to frustrate his children with his own personal, ungodly and selfish desires. You might not win an Oscar for Best Actor. But what can be better than being your child's hero?
