Thoughts on The Invitation - part 8

8. "It doesn't interest me to know where you live or how much money you have. I want to know if you can get up after the night of grief and despair, weary and bruised to the bone, and do what needs to be done for the children."

This goes back to my original post about the sorry state of laziness affecting my brothers today. I know of one person in particular that is so self absorbed that he is robbing his kids of the Daddy they deserve - actually I know several so called "men" like that. I don't care how much money you have or how many toys you own, I care about what you are doing for your family. Do your kids know you? I mean really know you? I believe this verse is talking to us guys - if we don't spend time with our children, somebody will. That void will be filled by someone, or worse, something. So get off your arse and hug them babies. Get on your knees, on their level, kiss that precious child and tell them you love them. Don't be afraid to show emotion - it won't make you look weak and it won't turn them gay. It will make them feel loved, and that's what really matters.

Who said that? I said it!
