A real father can take anything just to keep food on the table for his household.
A true father goes through many unspeakable experiences to continue to be a father. When he goes out daily in search of bread for his household, he sustains many mental injuries which he does not discuss with his family.
His wife and children may not be able to stand the pains he goes through if he were to share them with them. The insults from his boss, the embarrassment from his customers, the harassment from his superiors and so on yet he never quits.
Most of the times when he gets home, he is welcomed with nags and unending requests. He gets blamed for not being able to meet up or for not being able to be like his fellow men. Hmmmm! He is rarely appreciated for his struggles and push just to keep the family together.
Some men have secretly dipped their hands in so many things they can't discuss with their families. Some have stolen, embezzled and borrowed so much that they live in inexpressible guilt.
A real father can take anything just to keep food on the table for his household.
An adage says ''goat sweats but his hair does not let people see his sweat''. Many men are sweating, but no one is seeing their sweat because they have a car, a house, a job etc. Yet when it comes to celebrating him, it is done so casually.
He may not have breasts to breastfeed, but everyone suckles from his unseen breasts.
He may not carry a pregnancy for nine months, but he's always pregnant with family needs.
He may not know how labour pains feels, but he bears pains.
Tears may not be in his eyes but he cries from inside when he has no means of putting food on the table.
His shout, hostility and mood swings are not premeditated. They are fallout from what he goes through. Understand him please.
Remember a father as you celebrate Jesus in this season.
Buy him a gift today. Tomorrow might be too late.
Send an encouraging message to a father.```👍🏿💪🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
