| Taken Father’s Day 2009 |
Since this coming Sunday is Father’s Day, I’m reminded of all that my husband has done for our three boys.
- He’s shown interest in their lives every single day.
- He’s attended their ballgames.
- He’s played games of all sorts with them.
- He’s done devotions with them.
- He’s worked through problems with them.
- He’s tried to be a fair and reasonable disciplinarian.
- He’s lifted them up in prayer day after day.
- He’s laughed at their jokes, even when they don’t always laugh at his!
- He’s worked hard to provide for them.
- He’s been proud of them and bragged on them more times than they know.
- He’s taught them how to pray, how to read their Bibles, how to follow God.
- He’s apologized when he was wrong.
- He’s been honest with them when it was difficult.
- He’s worried about them.
- He’s loved them.
Sure, he’s had his messy moments but I’ll leave that to him to share about on his own someday. For right now, I want to simply focus on the good things he’s done in parenting because messy moms and dads have their wonderful, loving moments even amidst the messes of life.
So if you haven’t felt good about your dad or perhaps your husband as a dad, then look past all that to thank him for all the good that he has done. It will be the best gift you’ll ever give him!
