Reflections for Father's DaySample

Husbands, Fathers & Children

Whether you are a husband, father, or child, we all struggle in our relationship with God on Father’s Day, especially if we are single, childless, had an absentee dad, a divorced dad, or one who was less than ideal.

However, maybe you had a wonderful teacher or a coach; maybe you had a father figure who was someone else’s dad who always asked how you were doing. Perhaps God showed himself to you through a pastor or Sunday school leader.

Regardless of upbringing, I know for sure that God has worked very hard to make sure you found him—through a real dad, a stepdad, a grandfather, or simply an obedient man. " A father to the fatherless…" (Psalm 68:5).

I heard that Hallmark gave out free cards to inmates to send on Mother's and Father's Day. While they always ran out on Mother's Day, only a small percentage of cards were used by inmates for Father's Day.

What does this say about the role of fathers?

Prayer

Thank you, Lord, for making it possible for us to know you as our heavenly Father and experience an amazing change in our own life. Amen.
