Discovering God in others

Fr. Mathan was telling me during one of the planning sessions about an incident that happend in Dr. Joe's Family. Once Joanna broke a very expensive vase and she was about to cry (as she knew this was a vase they cherished), Dr Joe (her father)ran upto her and cuddled her to his chest and said "you are more precious than this vase". Can I be such a father to my children and be able to respond like this with out loosing temper.
