When God Created Fathers

When the good Lord was creating fathers He started with a tall frame.

And an angel nearby said, "What kind of father is that? If You're going to
make children so close to the ground, why have you put fathers up so high?
He won't be able to shoot marbles without kneeling, tuck a child in bed
without bending, or even kiss a child without a lot of stooping."

And God smile and said, "Yes, but if I make him child-size, whom would
children have to look up to?"

And when God made a father's hands, they were large and sinewy.

And the angel shook his head sadly and said, "Do You know what You're doing?
Large hands are clumsy. They can't manage diaper pins, small buttons, rubber
bands on ponytails or even remove splinters caused by baseball bats."

And God smiled and said, "I know, but they're large enough to hold
everything a small boy empties from his pockets at the end of a day... yet
small enough to
cup a child's face in his hands."

And then God molded long slim legs and broad shoulders.

"Do You realize You just made a father without a lap? How is he going to
pull a
child close to him without the kid falling between his legs?"

And God smiled and said, "A mother needs a lap. A father needs strong
shoulders to pull a sled, balance a boy on a bicycle, or hold a sleepy head
on the way home from the circus."

God was in the middle of creating two of the largest feet anyone had ever
seen.
"That's not fair. Do You honestly think those large boats are going to dig
out of bed early in the morning when the baby cries? Or walk through a small
birthday party without crushing at least three of the guests?"

And God smiled and said. "They'll work. You'll see. They'll support a small
child who wants to 'ride a horse to Banbury Cross,' or scare off mice at the
summer cabin, or display shoes that will be a challenge to fill."

God worked throughout the night, giving the father few words, but a firm,
authoritative voice: eyes that saw everything, but remained calm and
tolerant.

Finally, almost as an afterthought, He added tears. Then He turned to the
angel
and said, "Now are you satisfied that he can love as much as a mother?"

Have a nice day
