Dad you have run the race, you fought the good fight, now the crown awaits you . . . Ephesians 6:1-4 "Children obey your parents in the lord, for this is right. Honor your father and mother" - which is the first commandment with a promise - "That it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth". " Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord".
