The Importance of Fathers
Fathers have historically been seen as the provider of their families. Fathers go to work, and bring home a paycheck, ensuring their family is clothed, housed, and fed. However, fathers are so much more than that.
Fathers have a direct and paramount impact on their children's lives. Fathers have been placed on this Earth to teach their children about the word of God, and how to live by His word in day-to-day life. Fathers should be a shining example of His teachings, supporting and offering guidance to not only his children but to all of God’s children he encounters.
Fatherhood is an honor, it is an earthly role given to men with the opportunity to try and follow our Father in Heaven footsteps. Similar to our Heavenly Father, fathers show unconditional love and compassion, educate the differences between good and bad, discipline for wrongdoings, and forgive. The closer you are to the Lord, the easier it will be to emulate His teachings and apply them to your parenting.
Fathers, raise your family in the truth and light of our everlasting Father. Be a steadfast reminder of His love and teachings.
Happy Father’s Day!
