One of my colleagues ordered a food item for his kids. I
told him that we can now really be friends. I said I like men who pay attention
to the homefront.
He then began to tell me more about him. According to
him, he doesn't joke with his home. If he fails at home, there is no amount of
'away success' that can substitute. I don't totally agree with the submission
but I get what he's driving at.
He said that when he met his wife, she said it will be
hard for them to live together because of his mannerisms. However, he said he
hardly has conflicts with his wife. I asked him if it was because of what she
told him when they met and he answered that it was partly so. He said his wife
took her time to study him and has learnt to avoid flash points.
He said he doesn't take his "gra gra" home. He
says he knows he can't afford to fail at home so he gives the homefront all it
requires. What struck me the most is that this man is not a 'spiri jim jim'. He
is someone you'll believe will be a terror at home.
So, my question today is this - Why are some of our
Christian brothers terrors at home meanwhile many of the
"non-Christian" men strive to be wonderful family men? Where are we
missing it?
Enjoy your day.
