We recently celebrated Father’s Day.
Since Duane is my husband, we never go out specifically on that calendar day with it being just the two of us. We will see our family; and if necessary celebrate on a different day with them.

But just Duane and I went out the day after Father’s Day so I could honor my husband as being the father of our children. This is important to me. I let him pick what we do.

Children need a father and mother. That is the way God planned family. We both bring into our family different aspects of parenting. Many men who have been in prison, or are in prison, suffer greatly because they don’t have a strong, godly father. Granted, they can still become a wonderful person; but a painful lack of a loving father is a void no one should ever have to suffer. Divorce is truly another deep heartache for a child (even if they are in their adult life.)

It is God’s will to love and nurture your offspring. So important it is that the fathers who do not are referred to as being worse than a sinner!

Thank God today for the high expectations He demands of you! It is a blessing to be a daddy!

Selah.
