God is good to give my children an exemplary man of God for a father. Amazing Grace to clean up some sinners and give them a job like parenting. He is amazing to give us the opportunity to serve Him in such a way.
Thank you Patriarch Ben for representing God to my children as you do.
My daddy lied to me and told me an elaborate story of a conscienscious teenager who was doing chores and got cut to shreds. I cried and cried and held grudges against a family who would make their boy do such a difficult chore. He was too wounded to trust me with the real story, until much later. I found him in his arm. His soul was shredded in that "accident",{Gang fighting}.
The family was shredded and today, when a pin fell into my coffee, I thanked God that the season of life that was gang warfare is no longer a part of our family dynamic. My 5th wave of teenager is not a "gangster". God has interceded and made a new day for our family. Thank you God for the shredded arm and the deliverance in Christ that we have found to put the pieces back together again.It is Father's Day Weekend and I am grateful for the time I spent rubbing---"My Own Father's Arm". I am grateful for my mother's healing hand on his life and the father of my own children, who is carving out a new generation with his skillful hands, as well!
God bless America!
