Fathers are Generous

Fathers are generous! This is my Sabbath day's epiphany today.

Generosity has not been my experience when it comes to fathers. Not my father or my husband as a father. Today, while reading Bill Hybels book, Too Busy Not To Pray, I stumbled across the sentence, "Most fathers love to be generous with their children." And I am sent reeling. What does that mean? How can that be?! Looking back at my own childhood, I recall needing coloring tools for a project and not being heard until the tears flowed and again in my teens threatening to take the car and check book to buy a typewriter because an assignment required being typed. It did not seem that we could not afford these things. It seemed we could not afford these things for me. There always seemed to be enough for other siblings until it came my turn.
