Fathers

As a father has compassion on his sons, the Lord has pity on those who fear him;
for he knows of what we are made, he remembers that we are dust. -Psalm 103

Since a father was used as the example in this passage, I had to select it for today's quote. It reminds fathers of the responsibility we have to our children because their image of God the father is based on their image of us. Therefore, even though I think it comes naturally to most fathers, most of the time, remember that our kids are kids and not small adults. They don't reason the same way we do, so although we still correct them as needed, it makes it easier to forgive them in our hearts and to hand out the punishment with compassion, especially if we remember the things we did as children and how we turned out (probably thanks to correction from our parents).
