WHO IS THE BETTER DOCTOR?

Most dads are not doctors. Except for a few who are doctors, most dads have no idea what the medical profession entails however dad remain the best doctor any child can have. There is an inherent doctoring gift in every dad. God packaged this knowledge and poured it into dad for your benefit. Whenever you are sick, you'd naturally have dad by your side. Why so? Because, dad is a carrier of healing virtue.

Over the years, dad has fallen ill one time or the other. There is a possibility he has gotten the illness you may have now. He has learnt by experience what to do whenever you fall ill because his dad showed him how too. Doctors may have learnt the use of modern medical techniques due to their many years of study but dad’s medical technique is built around virtues or love, hope, joy and patience, virtues many doctors may not give you.

Your dad understudies you and knows best what suites you. He knows your kind of food and the things that will make you happy. He knows happy people are healthy people. Dad wants to see you smile always. Doctors know that keeping a smiling face however the situation unnerves their patients and they’d end up living longer. Dad uses this principle too. He smiles to cheer you up and encourage you to a healthy life.

Doctors are principled. They are always very cautious. They know the life of their patients lie in their hands and so they take care to ensure. Dad knows too that you are his patient. He thus patiently, watchfully and cautiously looks to your affairs. Off course, your life is most important to him and he is striving to mold you into that best he wants it see you be.

Dad strives to ensure you have the best health service you can get. He desires to see you healthy. Dad does not want to see you hurt. He dislikes injuries. He therefore encourages you to stay healthy always. Every dad is limited by the substance and amount of wealth he has at his disposal, yet they still strive to meet up with the needs of their children. Dad may not afford to give you all today hut he wants you to always remember he has you at the center of his heart.

Doctors lose patients every day. It is normal to see people die. But losing you isn’t normal for dad. Dad does not want to lose you. He wants to protect you. Dad may not be a doctor but he it is God has given to doctor you to the top.
