Boy/Man/Husband/Father

In most parts of the world today, fathers all over the globe are honoured as we universally appreciate the men in our lives as fathers regardless of them being biological fathers, husbands, brothers, mentors or spiritual leaders. However every man has the ability to procreate but not all have the ability to be fathers because being a father does not come by default, as a result of ones gender. Being a father is inculcated in a life from the time the child is conceived. The attitude, skills, character, are all inculcated right from the cradle. Because fame is a vapor, popularity an accident, riches take wings. Only one thing endures and that is Character-Horace Greeley. And this character begins with an act, that grows into a habit and in the long run defines an individual. Train your boys to love God, to be hardworking, to truly respect women and also mean it from their heart when they proclaim love to women, not to run around making babies indiscriminately with different women, teach them to be hardworking, because hard work does not kill, also teach them that as they work hard, they should learn to prioritise for no amount of work/money can take the place of family. Let them know that they might be head of their homes, but they will still stand before God to give account of the destruction or success of those homes. Let them know that no matter how terrible a mistake they make, there is always a new start, if they take the bull by the horn and learn to swallow their pride. Show me a good father and I will show you a man who has been properly brought up by a good woman. Prov 22;6 says train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it. I am blessed to have a wonderful father, I dont say it because its fathers day, but because its real. Its so funny that even his wife uses it to get back at him because she knows the love we have for each other and that my dad does not want to disappoint me in anyway, and most times she uses it to get him on track and she goes "elly will not be happy if she gets to know" and at that my dad makes a 360 degree turn around from what the issue might be lol. However I realise that some may not be prviledged and for all the single mums out there, all widows, all children who have been abandoned by their father or lost their dad untimely, in a time like this I want to remind you that our perfect father in heaven is a loving God who will never leave you nor forsake you. And If He is all you have got, then He is all You need. Best days are ahead, keep believing. Decided to add this track for you all out there. Enjoy!

If I have not learnt a lot in life, I have learnt that every single thing as well as every single person in our lives, happens for a reason....
