Over the course of my life there have been three God given gifts that I have received that I will treasure forever including eternity. The first gift is having a Godly father. The second gift is the priveledge and responsibility of being a father. The third gift is the blessing of watching my children become Godly fathers and mothers. In Ecclesiastes Solomon talks about this gift. He says you seldom reflect back on the days of your life because God keeps you occupied with the gladness of your heart.
Our culture today says the purpose of a father is to survive. God says a father's purpose is to serve.
Our culture says a father's principle is to be successful. God says a father's principle is to be significant, to make a difference.
The world says the practice of fatherhood is a status thing. God says fatherhood is a sheperding thing, being an example.
In 1 Peter 5:2-4 Peter tells fathers to be shepherds, not because they must, but because they are willing and eager to serve by being examples. And when Christ returns faithful fathers will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away. Happy Fathers Day
