A Father's Love : Is it greater than mother's love ?
Or greater than that ?

A father's love, oh how sweet! Yes! I really mean sweet. It is now time for a change. We often think of a mother's love in colorful, warm and tender terms; but we are reluctant to do the same for father's love. This was not God's intent. It was God's design for a father's love to complement a mother's love. The original plan was that both parents would creatively weave their different ways of loving into a tapestry of knitted emotions, verbal expressions, effectionate displays and intellectual harmony. There would be neither competition nor lack of love from either sides. This type of loving would create a family chemistry that would ride through the roughest storms and sail over the darkest clouds.

Can fathers really love ?

Perhaps some are saying that fathers cannot love like mothers do. Oh, yes they can. Sadly, however, many men have been fooled into believing that the love they should have for their families is somewhat of a diminutive resemblance to a mothers love. There is another side to the story.

Men get a lot of mixed messages concerning fatherhood. On one hand, society wants them to be committed first to their career. Co-workers and even bosses might think its great that a man has children and a loving family. It might even be seen as a source of strength and stability. But he is not expected to put the children and wife above his job. The job comes first and whatever is left over, he is free to do as he wishes.

Most of what we read is that father abuses child or the mother. No wonder many fathers go home late from work, oftentimes while their children are asleep. Additionaly we often read parenting from a mother's point of view. Men do not receive a great deal of encouragement to dwlve deeply into fatherhood. The message society is giving is that a father's love is not as important as mother's love.

Mothering Fathers ??!!

What is father's love really like? Even when a father expresses tenderness and consistent parenting care towards hia children, it is usually described in "mothering terms". Why do we think loving fatherhood in mothering terms?

Is it because we attribute tenderness and affectionate actions to being feminine rather than just being loved? Obviously, fathers do not have breasts. Fathers are not made with extra soft cusion of fat under their skin like mothers have. Nevertheless, fathers do have other body parts that mothers have. They have arms, legs, eyes, lips and ears that all are needed for the act of loving. Fathers also have brains that, according to research, have the same ability as mothers have to think, feel pain, laugh and cry. Thus there are no biological terms that can explain that a father's love cannot be as intense and meaningful as a mother's love. Of course there are sociological and cultural factors that explain so but we must remember that a father's love can be as intense and meaningful as a mother's love or may be in times greater than a mother's love.

Be it your father or mother, love them equally and remember that they love you too because they are the reason for your living on this earth.

Appreciate each and every moment you have with them.. :) :)
