The Kind Father

He wants the best for his family boys and girls alike.

He takes time with his sons and is proud of their education and their jobs. He shares sports with them. He takes them to the mosque with him.

He allows his girls to travel with him and even goes shopping with them, being patient all the while.

The Kind Father is rare in his balanced treatment of both sexes.

He and others like him are constantly being watched by other members of his family and neighbors to see if he is living in accordance with the "sharia law" . Sharia law is the governance of life, including marriage, and divorce.
He is being watched by his own tribal members as well as his neighbors. If they see that he is living in an non-comformist Islamic manner, he can be cast out of his family of influence. He can be brought before a judge and sentenced. He can be flogged, punished , imprisoned, even killed.

It is interesting that I have heard numerous times the horrors of women who live in Saudi Arabia, but not much is looked at of the man's lot in Saudi society. Yes, he has more freedom's no question, but his every move is being observed, weighed against the level of "Sharia law" and ISLAM.

This Kind Father is always walking a tight rope. He is wanting tolerance for others and a peaceful , charitable way of life for his own as well as others, but if he professes his openess he may plummet to his own destruction or death.

Pray for this KIND FATHER and for all of those who are like him.

Pray for the chains of darkness over Saudi Arabia to be broken.

Pray that he/they will have the courage and enough freedom to hear the truth of the gospel.

Pray that they will be changed because of this truth and that they can share with their daughter's and son's ( the leader's of Saudi Arabia of tomorrow) this truth.

Pray that this will become a nation of not only kindness , but of power , truth and of sound
mind. For God has not given us a spirit of fear , but of power, love and a sound mind. 2Timothy 1:7
