That's the Truth

I've learned more about being a son by being a father than I ever learned by being a son. One of my children in particular taught me. He taught me how to disagree, without feeling the need to run away. He taught me how to obey, without feeling the need to rebel. He taught me how to be respectful, without feeling the need to disrespect himself. We struggled with each other for years before we discovered how to live with each other in peace. Really, all we did was to resist the temptation to give up on one another. God did everything else. That's the truth.
