A FATHER’S BEATITUDES

On a visit to a Lawyer friend's Chamber one day, i was reading though a book titled "Pride and Prejudice", 

got to the middle of the book then i came a cross a sheet of paper. these were what was on that paper: 

 

Blessed is the father who receives the heavenly father as the Lord of his life.

Blessed is the father who will lay down his life for his wife and children

Blessed is the father who offers to wash the dishes and tend to the baby so mother can have a break even after his long day at work.

Blessed is the father who can attentively and patiently listen when he gets home to crying children and an exhausted and frustrating wife. Then be able with a smile, to offer comforting and soothing words, regardless of his feelings and frustrations.

 

Blessed is the father who takes the time to read the Bible to his Heavenly father as their Lord

Blessed is the father who  disciplines his children with love, making sure his life is in loving example of his heavenly father.

Blessed is the father who can patiently listen to his teenagers when they are telling him that he is too old and doesn’t understand the world of today.

Blessed is the father who spends late nights and lonely hours in intercessory prayer for his wife and family so he will be able to allow his Heavenly fathers love, patience, long-suffering, meekness, temperance, forbearance, and forgiveness. To be seen and expressed in demanding the opportune moments.
