Like many men who experience fatherhood relatively late in life, Martin Luther was a devoted parent. Luther wrote his children letters of touching intensity, patiently converting the joys of the Christian life into a language of storytelling fit for the very young. A home with children brought out the best in Luther in a way that theological disputation patently did not.
“My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person, he believed in me.”
I cannot think of any need in childhood as strong as the need for a fathers protection.
One father is more than a hundred schoolmasters.
Son, there are times a man has to do things he doesnt like to, in order to protect his family.
Noble fathers have noble children.
“Children need models rather than critics.”
A good father is one of the most unsung, unpraised, unnoticed, and yet one of the most valuable assets in our society.
