This blog is in honor of fathers- biological fathers as well as men that have stepped up to the plate to parent children that need to be loved and cared for.  It is beautiful to witness the acts of love and kindness that fatherhood calls for and when it is expressed by men that are not obligated to do so because they did not father a child, it is truly an unselfish blessing. So with that in mind-

On this the day we have chosen to celebrate the Fathers and those that have stepped up to be Fathers, may God bless you and keep you in His love and compassion. It is a big charge to step into Fatherhood and it is a gift that when you receive this position or stand up to take on this position that you begin to understand that you are blessed. It is a responsibility that will present you with experiences that will touch your heart and soul. It will pose challenges to your intellect and also give you lessons in patience and unconditional love. The connection is eternal and is a life-time commitment, but the rewards that it can offer outweighs the investment. Your strength of character, your values and morals will impact your children’s lives, so take care that you always think of them first.

What does a child look for you in?

Do they see you as a giant that can conquer the world for them?

Do they see you as the one they can trust with all that’s in their heart?

Do they see you as the helping hand that will catch them if they fall?

Do they see you as the wisest man that knows right from wrong?

Do they see you as the man that can whisper “I love you my child”?

Do they see you in a state of joy when they are being their authentic selves, knowing that you love them for who they are?

Do they realize that you belong to them no matter what befall, cause you are their “Daddy”, and they have captured the strings of your heart and the essence of your soul?

May all the father’s that have taken on that position know that as they have taken on this charge from this world to the world beyond, know that your children love you and will honor you as their “Father” -and see imprints of you that will last into the forever-truth be told.
