Dad Appreciating New Life |
Any man can be a father, but not every father is a dad. Let's celebrate and honor those men who are dads and pray for those who are fathers but not around to be dad.
I am blessed to have a man who is not only a great husband and father, but an awesome dad. Part of the help is having him knowing Jesus Christ as his savior and seeking to honor Him first. For those who may not have such a loving, caring husband and/or father remember this promise:
1 Peter 3:1-2 "Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives; While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear."
There is so much that can be done through our actions that does more to bring a man to Christ than any amount of preaching could ever do. It's a great promise and it saved and healed our marriage!
There is so much to praise a husband/father for. Is he a hard worker providing for the family? Does he spend time playing and wrestling with the children? Is he showing the children what it means to be a godly man or woman, directing them to Jesus Christ? Does he instill an ethic of work and diligence? These are just a few examples of how my husband interacts as a dad. There are many more qualities I didn't add, but I sure am grateful to be able to celebrate my man for Father's Day.

Thank you Lord, for a husband and father that our family can celebrate this Father's Day! May all the fathers out there trust in this promise:
Malachi 4:6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.
