Birth of a Parent - Daily Dose of Wisdom

Snuggled in his father's arms, he is secure, unafraid, because there is a father.

Looking into the small eyes gazing up from within his arms, feeling the tight clutching of tiny hands, the father awakens to something he may never have known before: He is a father.

As the child fosters a man, as he grants a father his fatherhood and a mother her motherhood, so our trust in the One Above makes Him into our G-d.

Based on letters and talks of the Rebbe, Rabbi M. M. Schneerson

Our / My G*d

Wow, Rabbi Freeman, this is powerful.

I do recall the first time I ever said, "I love you G*d."

And since then, I have been able to also accept and deeply appreciate (especially in time of need) that "G*d loves me."

BlesSings and gratitude,

BIRTH OF A PAREMT

This was a very touching article, it is so true, G-d is there to guide us in life, but your Father or Mother, are there after you are born. I was blessed with wonderful Parents, I know how it feels to be real close and love your Parents, we were always there for each other, you can never replace a Parent, the love in your heart is there forever. As a child the bond with my parents was strong. Now they are both in Heaven watching me and will always be in my heart forever. G-d is there to comfort me and love and guide me. I became so much more involved in Judisum and am alot more religious, since they paseed away. Through G-d I feel them and I know they are with me always. G-d is my true connection with both my Father and Mother . I believe that it has been a real comfort with G-d,showing me the path in life. As a Child, I bonded with my Parents, it will always be there. So being helld by your Parents, you can feel a real connection, You will realize that it was through G-d later.
