Wrath! “You just wait until your father gets home!”
Many of us may relate to that statement from childhood from our mothers. I
received my share of looks, spankings and cancelled plans from both Mom and
Dad. Recalling
my childhood, I cannot remember one spanking or other form of punishment where
I sensed in my heart that my parents did not love me. It is not just saying that “this is going to
hurt me more than it hurts you.” Love came in the explanation prior to the
administration of discipline and in the restoration afterwards. More than that, the relationship, the “being
with” factor, is what held the hand of comfort and discipline in harmony.
