For the Love of a Father

by COG Nanaimo on Jan.21, 2010, under Articles, Jean Jantzen

Sometimes the poorest man leaves his children the richest inheritance.
(Ruth E. Renkel)

By profession I am a soldier and take pride in that fact. But I am prouder — infinitely prouder — to be a father. A soldier destroys in order to build; the father only builds, never destroys. The one has the potentiality of death; the other embodies creation and life. And while the hordes of death are mighty, the battalions of life are mightier still. It is my hope that my son, when I am gone, will remember me not from the battle field but in the home repeating with him our simple daily prayer, “Our Father Who Art in Heaven”.
(Macarthur, Douglas 1880-1964 American Army General in WW II)
