Ps 145: 8-9<\/h4>\n

The LORD is gracious and merciful,
\nslow to anger and of great kindness.
\nThe LORD is good to all
\nand compassionate toward all his works.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nI was reading this Monday morning while sitting with my daughter and I thought about how perfect God’s love is. \u00a0Not only that but I also realized how often I fall short of that kind of love in my own life. \u00a0As a father I know I’m supposed to be the example, the spiritual head of the family. \u00a0Unfortunately,\u00a0a lot of times I feel I fall way short of this in this job description. \u00a0There are time when I’m tired from staying up too late or getting up too early. Times when I don’t really feel like dealing with anyone. \u00a0Could you image if God was like this?<\/p>\n
