Happy Fathers Day to all you men that are fathers natural and step, also many men are held up and looked up to as fathers to many who need that man contact in their life's.
I have good memories of the men in my life growing up who I looked up to and tried to fashion after, growing up without a father was not a bad thing for me as I find I had many men who took me under their wings to help raise me the right way.
I do not consider myself as a role model for my 2 natural children as for my time away from them doing my military's calling for many years. But years later I have had the opportunity to mentor both step children and young employees and be there for them as a father would.
Several years ago on Fathers day during a overcomers meeting that I was directing I took the opportunity to talk with a group of around 120 men many fathers and soon to be dads all of addiction , I wanted to give a lecture on what God sees in a father I started out with how God is the perfect father example. How he is always there to lend a ear, gives love without reservation, does not judge unjustly, supply's all our needs We just have to ask for help when needed he never turns his children out. and i gave much more examples. Than I ask a question and I put this question out on here to all you Men here. how do you rate yourself as a father ? or should I say how do you rate yourself as a Man ? answer this do you provide leadership to your children and your house hold, do you provide both income and love to your wife and children. are you even tempered, are you slow to speak and quick to hear. Are you a peace maker or a conflict maker. do you take reasonability for your actions or is it always someone else . Do you lead your family to church . and the most important part of this is a man is not a man unless he takes the lead and prays with and for his family and his household each day , so with this all said Happy fathers day to all men and be men lead be a father figure to many for to many kids growing up without a father. God bless you all Good night.
