It can be argued that fatherhood is the most important job a man will ever have. Being a father is a lifetime commitment filled with responsibility and joy. On Father’s Day, Sunday, June 18, children of all ages will have an opportunity to tell their dad how much they appreciate them. For dads, it will be a time to cherish their children. Many of us may have grown up without a father, or are grieving the loss of a father, but remember that opportunity for “fathering” is never absent. In the Bible, James speaks of every person’s obligation to help and assist “the fatherless and widows.” As a man of God, your role is to protect, provide, instruct, nurture and comfort their children. You can make a difference in someone’s life by showing them the love of our Heavenly Father. Happy Father’s Day.
