Award winning movie producer and director Tyler Perry is known for the powerful messages he shares on Facebook. Today the multi-millionaire asked parents a very powerful question "Do you know that the child you delivered will soon deliver you?". The movie mogul also prayed for the safe return of the over 200 abducted Nigerian girls. Below is what he wrote:
WARNING!! BE CAREFUL HOW YOU TREAT YOUR CHILDREN!
In my prayer and quiet time at 5am, I was praying about how to (one day) be the best father that I can be. I have no doubt that I will be a great dad, but as I looked back in my life for an example, all I could remember were all of the horrible things that were said and done to me as a kid. But before I could get sad about it, I remembered something I wrote a while back about "learning in reverse".
If you are like me and had no good examples, then your lesson is in reverse. I learned many years ago that if I do the opposite of what was done and said to me then I have learned how to be a good father some day. Which lead my mind to a line in one of my favorite songs of all time. It's called “Mary Did You Know”. I've written about this before, but I think it's worth sharing again.
