GOD MADE A FATHER
At the dawn of time, God looked down on all He had made and said, βNow, I need a caretaker.β
So, God made a father.
God said, βI need someone to teach children to fish, and to ride a bike without training wheels, and to play catch in the backyard. It must be someone whoβs tough enough to run a chainsaw and yet, gentle enough to join his little girl and her dolls for tea.β
So, God made a father.
βI need someone to notice practical things, like how the tread on the tires is wearing and if the weather stripping around the front door needs replacing, for no one else will.β
βIβll help him find time for the important things, like saying βIβm proud of you, son,β or giving Mama a hug.β
βYes, thatβs exactly what I need,β thought God. βA father to love my children, and if necessary, to lay down his life for them. Someone . . . well, someone like Me.β
So, God made a father.
