DADDY

My brother Tommy--much older than me--told me how it was in our home before daddy got religion.

"Mama kept me and Wilfred in a back room while daddy drank and played music in the living room with his friends."

Years later when I came along we never missed church, and Mama read the Bible to us before going to bed. Daddy still played guitar and mandolin with his little band of friends but without booze. My foot tapped to the rhythm of The Missouri Waltz, The Tennessee Waltz, Won't You Ride In My Little Red Wagon and other folk tunes. 

A father's goal should be to develop his children to seek and glorify God with their lives.

Ephesians 6:4  And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of The Lord.

There are no perfect fathers except our Heavenly Father, and He can help dads to be better fathers.

My father, Gene Watson, left me spiritual values that changed my life. I am thankful.
