Honor thy father…. Exodus 20:12
Loving or Hating Dad
Love or hate your father, God tells us to reverence, obey and honor our parents. This is notated in both the Old and New Testament (see Eph. 6:1-3). Despite your feelings about dear old dad how do you show your love toward him – by word, action, deed, or nothing at all?

Father's Day is 6th
Thinking of dad is typically an after thought or a last minute rush to the store. Of celebrated holidays, Father’s Day is ranked 6th on the biggest holidays for spending list. I guess that is why thoughtless gifts of mugs, ties, socks underwear, and “world’s greatest dad” T-shirts top the gift list.

Dad may not be the most fashionable, or his appearance the most appealing. His face my show signs of worry or a stare lost in space. His words may be stern yet he listens and comforts you when in pain. For years he hustles around to get things together never once has he complained?
Fathers are unique
Fathers are unique creatures that God created and are often misunderstood. These men give their all to smooth the way for a small child. He is called upon in times of distress taking up the slack with a generous spirit. There are times humility shines bright.
Father's imperfect qualities
Fathers have values – be it right or wrong they stand by them. Some have fallen short or did not meet your expectations. But to receive the full blessings of God we, as His children, have to heed the words of Solomon – my son do not forget my teaching, keep my commands in your heart for they will prolong your life Proverbs 3:1.
These imperfect qualities make dad loved and respected and sometimes hated. Regardless as to how you feel about your dad remember him on Father’s Day. Call, send a card or stop by to say hello. Because without Dad there is no you!
Let us pray:
Dear Heavenly Father, I thank you for all earthly fathers, dads, and pops. For without their union with mothers there will be no me! I thank you for the fathers those who are doing their part and for those still trying to get it. Lord Bless each man give them the wisdom, knowledge and power to overcome short comings, doubt, fear, and disbelief. Help me to encourage and uplift them so they can be all the man you want them to be in the name of Jesus. Amen.

I think of the times I've seen my father, my husband, my son and my son-in-law put their emotions on the backburner when they could cry and just let it all out, but instead step up to the plate and find the strength to tackle the hard task for the sake of their wives, children and siblings.
