What intrigues me about father’s day is that it is treated as a non-event. The reason for this is because there is not enough attention given to the fathers that took care of their families. I’m not down playing the reality that some fathers were not/are not involved in the lives of their children, but God did place a man or men in your life to assist you. I want us to celebrate these men along with the fathers, because they saw the need and did not have a problem with stepping in to help. We have to understand our fathers are not like our mothers, they might not hug as much, or say I love you as much, but they do care as much. They may have missed some of the events you had going on as a child, but you always had a place to stay, clothes on your back, and food to eat. God has called the father to be the provider and protector of the family and they are successful in do it as they walk by faith.
Today I want you to take some time and reflect on what you father has done for you. He may not have said “I love you”, but if you look at what he has done, he was telling you how much he loves you. So, make it your business to let your father know you love and appreciate all that he has done for you. Happy Father’s Day!

Wonderful sermon. It’s was a reflection of my life as being a father. At the age of seven he was diagnosed as having a brain tumor at the top of his brain. And the choices we had was to s operate and have it removed, but the effect of that was he would be blind and crippled, I said no way I want me child to have a childhood because i had one, the the doctor said he would not lived pass the age of nine then i said to him that what you say but goes say, buy Lord has other plans for him. He blessed us with 20 years, if was rough but prayer changes things. I can go on and on with my story about all of the struggles dealing with his health. His head aces he use to have from the ages of 8-10 and there was nothing they could give him for the pain. To hold him in my arms and say daddy please him me and i couldn’t do anything but pray and the pain lasted for serveral hours the around the age of 13 the tumor started to grow even larger and he asked my why is this happening to me i thought God loved me and why is he doing this, it was then I didnt have a answer for him. I read the bible like you taught me and I pray what am i doing wrong.I said to him you are doing the right thing and what else could i have said.
