The Importance of the Father

     Recently there has been a lot of focus on the role of the father in the house, even from Christian experts. While I spent time with God this morning I received the teaching that we are missing the point. Father's have always been in and out of families, during war times it has always been the mother left raising the children and during the depression the father's were out looking for work...even traveling far and wide to try to find a job. The point we should be focusing on is that whoever is left at home to raise children, has to be teaching them about God and His commandments. It is more important that a child's Heavenly Father be part of their life even than their earthly father.
