The Great Father Full Movie

[Sear Sommerfeldt]

GreatFather and Great Mother (French: Bon Pre, Grand-Mre, Spanish: Gran Padre, Gran Madre) were titles used by European colonial powers in North America along with the United States during the 19th century to refer to the U.S. President, the King of Great Britain, the King of Spain, or the King of France during interactions with indigenous peoples. The expansion to Great White Father may have been popularized by western adventure novels.[1]

First Nations peoples and Native Americans most often organized themselves by clan and family; ties of kinship were considered central to intertribal relations and the understanding of tribal political power. In the Iroquois Confederacy, for instance, the relations between individual bands were metaphorically described using paternal (parent to child), or fraternal (sibling to sibling) terms to indicate the importance of two groups in relation to each other.[2] Within this context, and to make themselves better understood during treaty negotiations, British representatives often referred to Jehovah (aka God or the Lord) as "the Great Father" (see: Great Spirit).

The terms was also used to refer to the British monarchs George III and Queen Victoria as "the Great Father" and "the Great White Mother" respectively, and to the native people as his or her "Red Children." David Laird invoked the phrase while explaining Treaty 7 to the Blackfoot:[3]

In the United States, the primacy of the Great Father was promoted through elaborate displays of military pageantry, the use of mystical language to describe the far-removed President, and the distribution of "peace medals" bearing the portrait of the sitting head of state (giving gifts, such as peace medals, further reinforced the paternal nature of the relationship as gift giving, in many Native cultures, was typically reserved for parent-child interaction). As in Canada, Native peoples were referred to as the "children" of the Great Father; so intense was the myth created surrounding him that chiefs brought to Washington, D.C. to meet the President often manifested symptoms of terror prior to an audience. Lean Bear, upon being presented to Abraham Lincoln at the White House, reportedly found himself suddenly unable to speak. Winnebago chief Hoowaneka recalled his audience with John Quincy Adams by explaining "I thought I was in heaven, and the old man there, I thought was the Great Spirit."[1]

An example of an invocation of the term "Great Father" by an American official can be found in a decree given by Thomas L. McKenney to the Menominee, in which McKenney declares he has received instructions from the Great Father to appoint a head chief with whom the United States could negotiate.[5]

On occasions when territory would pass from the influence of one Western nation to another, the new power might refer to the former Great Father in past-tense, as when William Henry Harrison addressed the Shawnee, declaring that "my children, let us look back to times that are past. It has been a long time since you called the King of Great Britain your father."[6] In the United States, additional titles would sometimes be invoked to explain the political authority of the President to Native Americans, often as a "chief" of many "fires" (fire used as a metonym for state). In 1791, for instance, Henry Knox greeted the Miami on behalf of "General Washington, the Great Chief of the Thirteen Fires," while John Adams would come to be known to the same tribe as the "Great Chief of the Seventeen Fires."[7]

I met your father at Stake conference this past weekend. (He gave two amazing talks and left us with an apostolic blessings.???). We had a brief conversation and he gave me this blog address. I lost my husband of almost 42 years to pancreatic cancer in August of 2017. I would like to send you an email if I could. Would you send me your email address?

Most people, including wives, will judge men as good or great fathers and grandfathers with a scorecard that includes practical things like helping out with the diapers, the dishes, the trash, the house cleaning, the laundry, the homework, babysitting, the cooking, the baths, the bedtime routine.

Of course, extra points are earned in the eyes of everyone around for that Dad or Grandfather who plays ball with the kids, teaches them a skill, invests time and attention in the kids and family beyond his normal responsibilities.

Purpose. Again, I believe we are created and positioned here or earth to do more. We are to love and honor our Creator, the God of the Bible, the God of Abraham, Jacob, and Moses of the Old Testament. We are to be obedient and keep His commandments as Christ-followers under the New Covenant as described in the New Testament. With that we are to love our fellow man, our neighbor.

Call to Action. We are each created and endowed with gifts and talents and designed for purposes for His intent, not ours. When we surrender our heart, mind, soul, and body to discovering that, then we blossom to fullness in fruit, output and yield.

So What Makes a Great Dad or Grandfather?

Actually, a great Dad or Grandfather is a man who teaches his sons and daughters and the next generation exactly all of that listed above; specifically:

When discussing fatherhood with many fathers, I have heard so many men say their father had a hard time hugging or kissing them. Unfortunately, most men say it was even harder for their father to say I LOVE YOU! Regardless of whether you have a son or daughter, they need to hear and feel your love. This needs to be a consistent practice.

Cross squirms and kicks, knocking the wipes off the warmer as I punch a perfect glob of sanitizer into the center of my palm. I am sanitized. I try to pull out another wipe, but it's stuck, so I tug. Sixty wipes explode out of the box onto the changing table and the floor.

Cross is playing with the wipes, tossing them into the air like confetti. I grab a chunk of the remaining wipes off the table with one hand and undo her diaper with the other. Inside was 15 pounds of waste that somehow came out of my 15-pound baby. No really, how? The entire floor of the house now smells worse than a gas station restroom at the end of the night. I power forward, using the remaining wipes to disappear all evidence of the feces, rolling those soiled wipes into her heavy diaper, then rolling the whole package into a tight ball, sealed on every angle to suppress the funk. I slam-dunk the ball into the Diaper Genie, then quickly apply the regimen of lotions, oils and creams that my sweet wife requires after every change, before fastening on a new pamper. Cross jumps to her feet, still up high on the table, spreading her arms, excited to hug me for completing the task.
