I have a story to tell all of the parents out there, this is
for me as a parent also…
The title is an old adage… BE SLOW TO ANGER
There was a little boy his age was approximately 6 to 7, he
was awaiting his father’s arrival from work eagerly. He loved his father he was
his favorite hero there was no one better. As his father pulled into the
driveway the son jumped with excitement after all for a young child the end of
a day never comes soon enough. As his father got out of his beautiful new car,
his son greeted him arms spread wide they clutched and held each other the
father picking his son up and rocking back and forth. Then he set his son down
and head to the house, settling in his favorite chair to read the newspaper
before dinner. The son went back to playing outside fiddling around with this
and that around the house, at some point finding a hammer and as little boys do
commenced to pound on things, as he was hammering he accidentally hit the
father’s new car. At first he was shocked by what he had done but noticed how
neat the dent was he had created, so at this point continued to beautify his
father’s new car with a row of fancy embellishments in a perfect row around the
vehicle. Being proud of his accomplishment ran to get his father to show off
his artistic ability, as the father hit the door to the carport he was shocked
to see dents surrounding his new car. In the heat of the moment the father
picked up the hammer and commenced to do his own hammering. As they arrived at
the hospital after the incident the son was rushed into surgery while the
father waited in the waiting room worried for his son and for the consequences of
his actions. After a few hours of surgery the father was brought to his son’s
room where he waited for his son to wake from the anesthesia. As the son awoke
his father grasped him holding him tightly in his arms as he cried. The son
with unconditional love comforted his father saying it was ok, at which point
the son looking down and then up at his father asked… “Daddy when can I have my
hands back?
