I Corinthians 12:18-27
18 But in fact God has placed the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be. 19 If they were all one part, where would the body be? 20 As it is, there are many parts, but one body.
21 The eye cannot say to the hand, "I don't need you!" And the head cannot say to the feet, "I don't need you!" 22 On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, 23 and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor. And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty, 24 while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has put the body together, giving greater honor to the parts that lacked it, 25 so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. 26 If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.
27 Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.
"I've been a lousy father, blind to what I have. So obsessed with being undervalued that I undervalued all of you."

Fatherhood is difficult
Jesus gave us an example of His father from the Father of the Prodigal son. Luke 15:11-32
How did he treat his sons?
How did he love his sons?
How did he receive His sons?
Fatherhood is difficult
My Brother and I father differently
We came from the same dad, and up bringing
He used the tools that were given to him
We used the tools that were given to us.
Our dad taught us, and trusted us to a mowing business. He gave us the tools, and knowledge to handle the mowers, use and fix. When we were away from him
We have never blasted our dad for how he brought us up
Galatians 5:22-23 The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
-There is no negative attitude, or fruit that comes from the Spirit.
-A critical Spirit is wrong.
Let's be an incredible family again.
