The Interpersonal Connection ~ Father's ~ Part 2

 Encouraging and Inspirational Words of Wisdom, Spirit and Life. Let's Talk About It, Then Pray About It. We as fathers desire our children to live long and fruitful lives just as our heavenly father means for us to, but that requires good teaching and modeling. Proverbs 4:10 states, “Hear, O my son and receive my sayings: and the years of thy life shall be many”. What true father would not want their children to have a long and happy life, but there needs to be consistent commitment from the father to the son. The lack of this commitment is seen today as our young sons are dying needlessly. Understanding thy place in the order and scheme of a family strengthens the family unit and binds the structure of individuals into a unit that is strong, and thus strengthens neighborhoods and communities.  

Suggestions for men.....1. As children grow they become less dependent on us and start to make decisions for themselves, but we as men/fathers must stay active as models and advisors. Often just listening and being patient. 2. During adolescence there is a minimal tendency to ask parents for their opinions, it is important to ask questions and openly communicate not criticize. Men are prone to be impatient, but we should learn to wait and guide our talks not force them. 3. Be direct with your decisions and be Fair, a “No” means “No”. You send conflicting signals when you change your mind and don’t backup your words.

Stay Connected and YOU Be Encouraged
