Being a son of my ‘ Earthly Father ‘ was a difficult one – as he was full of anger all his life due to one person or another at home and work – as l sat waiting for him to arrive and help me with my homework – His face told me it all as he came through the door – not tonight is all l would hear and then later on when to bed l would go – all l could hear was raised voices – So do not ask me Why as l was there and should lye but after a while l would go down the stairs of ‘ Apples & Pears ‘ as it was ‘ Bedlam ‘ and l could not sleep

So l crept down the stairs to the room where l heard three people my mum and my gran arguing out loud about ‘ Money ‘ you see and how we were costing our dad – these words l would hear and the echoed in my ear to this day and now they have gone ‘ l Am Not Made of Money ‘ and this has stuck with many many a year – So l entered the room and stood there a fear – of what anyone would say and l saw his red face and arguing without Grace As he Looked At Me – and said this, ‘ Oh Look Your Son is Here to Protect You ‘ as he ‘ Glared at my Mum ‘ – My voice stuttered yes and l still never knew why but these were the words that l said ‘ Leave Her Alone ‘ and l shrank to the floor as he said ‘ When You Are Big Enough Son then You can Step Outside and be a Man ‘ l quaked in his wake and then l said ‘ Please Stop Arguing Instead ‘ but he stopped and said ‘ Go to Bed Little Boy ‘ and they carried on arguing instead but as l went up those stairs foot by foot still shaking and sorely afraid inside l would hear footsteps coming up the stairs behind me and then a ‘ Belting l Would Get – Oh No Not a Surprise – ‘ Then l Would Lye My Bottom on Fire – But Never Did l Shed a Tear ‘ until one day he died and was still and l saw in his face all anger had drained away and finally l knew he was at peace

Many years later l would find the reason for his life being that way and it was not quite as l had understood and if l had known what l learned then l would never have gone down them stairs – As my Mum was at fault you see and – No she has now passed away with lies on her breath and never the truth and God then came into me and brought me ‘ Peace & Truth ‘ in my life and l learned all that God taught me as a Son l now feel as God started to heal every wound that was inflicted on Me and those word’s of my Mum & Dad even they have now healed and forgiveness l learned and in me that was before absurd as now l could forgive my enemies and turning the cheek – And saying this word l could know that God loves Me and so everyday in every way l follow the ‘ Path of Righteousness ‘ you see as God put that in Me and no more l was blamed or thought l was wrong to speak and learned how ‘ Kindness & Love ‘ was put in Me and to this day all is left to say -……. Thank God Came to Me in My Heart as Peace & Truth is in Me all the days of my life.
AMEN
