For those of us who have been blessed to grow up with fathers in our lives, we are aware of many roles they do play in our lifetime. They are a teacher from whom you learn many of your most important lessons. A coach who is always cheering for you no matter how good you are. Strong arms to pick you up when you fall or hug you for no reason at all. Fathers let you do things that mothers are to afraid to let you try. They are voice of reason when you are attempting to solve one of life’s many problems. They are voice of support and love when your heart has been just broken and protector who vows no one will ever break your heart again.

This weekend take opportunity to tell fathers in your life just how important they are and how you appreciate them. Say a prayer for those families who do not have their fathers with them for whatever reason. Make Father’s Day a time to remember what is really important in this lifetime and when you nurture each other, everyone benefits.
