To all those fathers who do their best to be all they can be to their children, “Thank you.” Know that I pray for you. You live in a society that doesn’t appreciate your effort or understand the value of your calling. You are the butt of jokes and the easy one to blame. You are making a difference. Don’t give up.
To all those who try to fill the shoes of fathers who are absent, “Thank You.” You too perform a vital function. Your efforts are often not recognized, sometimes spurned, sometimes misunderstood. Your calling is as real and important as that of the natural fathers who are absent. Carry on. You are desperately needed.
To all those whose father is absent, physically, spiritually, or emotionally. “Be blessed.” Know that you are prayed for by many and loved by the Lord and Father of all. Be willing to turn to Him. He can fill every missing spot. Be especially blessed this day when you feel you have no one to thank or to honor.
To my own special father, now gone too many years. I am so sorry I never recognized the great job you did while you were alive to be thanked. Who today could raise nine children on almost no money and not end up with any in jail or on drugs? All you raised were or are successful and you are greatly to be thanked. Love you Popee and look forward to thanking you in person one day.
To my living child, my departed child, my grandchildren and my great grand child. I am so sorry for the times I have been absent, or too distracted or too busy. I am sorry for not listening more. I am sorry for not guiding more clearly or providing a better example. I love each of you individually and specially and am grateful for the privilege of being in your lives. Thanks and kisses to each of you.
To My God and Father of all. Thank you for teaching us to love and to father. Thank you for filling in when we are absent or slow or just plain dumb. Thank you for Jesus. And most of all have a great Father’s Day. You really are the only Father we need and thanks for that.
Be blessed.
Nick
