As you become older, your bond with your parents will alter. What has changed in your connection with your parents since you were a child?
A child? What kind of relationship will you have when you’re an adult? You’ll discover that you have the privilege of taking care of and supporting your parents as you both get older. But if someone doesn’t take care of their family members, especially those who live in their own home, they have denied their faith and are worse than nonbelievers. Children need their parents’ love, care, guidance, and discipline. Fathers, instead of provoking your kids to rage, raise them under the guidance and direction of the Lord. Everybody has a mother, without exception. There simply isn’t a way around it. Every person has a mother, regardless of whether they are homeless, have two fathers, despise women, were adopted or orphans, are the biggest bullies at work, or had their mother pass away before they knew her. My wife and I frequently see a lonely person pacing the streets. We will glance at one another and remark, “Somewhere, that guy has a mother,” despite the fact that they may be filthy and unclean, stumbling and unshaven, atrophied and hooked. Our approach is shaped by the mother of my children’s tale because we have a child who other people might view and assume our home is like.
