FATHERING THROUGH THE SON
Article by Tom Gilbert — © LivingtheSolution.com
Why is it so hard to be a dad? What
are the real requirements and true skills to meet them? Where
do we turn for proper training? Often I feel like singer/songwriter
Loudon Wainwright III who laments in his song Being
a Dad: "Being a Dad can make you feel sad/Like
you're the insignificant other/Yeah right from the start they
break your heart/In the end every kid wants his mother..."
There’s a long history behind us, some serious baggage
of unsettled and unsatisfying fatherhood. It’s a heavy
burden that most men would just as soon not carry, let alone
look at.
I don’t think it is mere coincidence that God chooses
to reveal part of his unknowable and infinite self as a Father.
There is a great need, a hunger deep inside each of us, to have
a loving and intimate relationship with a father. Whether your
father is living or even known, the desire is real. All too
often it is suppressed to hide the hurt, but this need always
lives within us. It is part of our longing.

BE ATTITUDES
Article by Tom Gilbert —
© LivingtheSolution.com
Some people claim attitude is
everything. I don’t know about such an all encompassing
statement. Still, attitude is very important. If my attitude
is negative then I am resisting and fighting. I am not
“tuned”, if you will, to the proper frequency.
Other than a clever play on words, “Be the Attitude”
as an idea might hold some insight for us all on the Beatitudes
(Matthew
5:3-12). Can we find a way to “be”
meek, poor in spirit, peacemakers, and comforters? Can
we truly “be” satisfied when hungry; “be”
pure in heart and especially “be” able to
feel blessed for the persecution that surely comes?
