HAPPY FATHER'S DAY.....My how I loved to preach on Father's Day. Why? Because I had been such a great father? .I think if you were to ask our girls if I had been a good father they would very likely say yes. However,
when one of our daughters said "I want to marry a man like Daddy." Golden chuckled and replied " Sweetie Dad hasn't always been like he is now". My point: I made plenty of rookie mistakes early on with our three wonderful daughters. Trial and error....with way too many errors. As I grew I began to do things like our Father wanted me to...good decisions became more prominent than bad ones. What's the old saying "Live and learn."
Father's day sermons became a time of practical review of my pilgrimage. Just last week I met a young father and I quickly exhorted him that "you have the most important job you will ever have in loving and raising your children."
Happy Fathers Day, men
