Children Do Need a Dad

         Now by the title some women/girls will not read this but let me explain. I'm dinfantly not against moms and not trying to be. Moms are the supporter and carrier of the family. If it wasn't for her, in all ways, there wouldn't be a family at all. Tonight at work, though, God showed me the importance of having a Dad too. We really do need both to make a family work.
          Dads have things and can teach children things that moms cannot especially little boys.  Little boys tend to listen to dads more. They can rough play with them. They can learn how to be leaders if they are the right kind. Dads have more power over us, moms. It is just the way God made us. When little boys see that a man really cares about them, they might behave. The dad just has that strong look and deeper voice that little boys know.
           I'm talking about this because I saw something happen with one of my little boys tonight. He had a lot of energy and was acting up and hitting his peers. He would not listen to me when I tried to calm him down and explain things. We had a guy that was working around the building tonight and he came on our wing just in time and took the little boy away to spend some time with him to calm down. He just needed that attention from a male person.
           He came back on the wing after they got done talking and he was really well behaved. Everything was "yes, mama", "I'll help you" to staff and peers, and everything else. Some children need that attention because they don't get it at home especially in my case. It is amazing how they will act out for a women but not for a guy. The little boy seemed nervous to tell me sorry but he did because the guy was right beside him making sure he did. There were little things that he did, though, that we had to ask if he wanted to go back to that guy. He straighten right up because he did not want to go back.
           This reminds me of God and us as his Children in a way too. We all act like children in God's eyes. We get to where we want to do our own thing and not listen to Him. We just go about our daily lives. We even cry out and throw fits to Him. We hurt people because we are not listening to God. Sometimes He lets us until it turns bad but then He talks us through it through His Word. He promises us that He knows what is best, He will keep us safe, and He loves us.  That is why He is Our "Father".  We fear God too. We don't know what He is going to do next in our lives or how He is going to do it.  We know to trust Him because He has never let us down and never will.  I could go on forever about this subject but I won't. Hopefully, you get the idea.
              Makes me think, at this point in my life, I will do want a husband with Godly traits and now I know why. I've always wanted one, of course, because I knew it was better but my eyes have been open to the truth. I now also understand more clearly why God made man the way He did. It is a strange way to learn about both "roles" but it is a good picture at the same time.
