As Fathers, you have an awesome responsibility. God has entrusted you with the care of your children. Caring goes beyond financial responsibility. Children require love and attention. They flourish when they are properly nourished emotionally. My father had 5 children, 4 girls and 1 boy. He spent a great part of his time working. In order to spend time with us, sometimes he would take us with him to his spare jobs. Even though he made us work, we enjoyed it. He taught us, through example, how important it was to establish a good work ethic. None of us have ever forgotten the times we spent going to work with my Dad. It is a memory we will always treasure.
Men, I urge you to consider the role you play in your children's lives. Make sure you are teaching them by example, to reverence and respect the legacy that we have inherited from our ancestors by leaving them a legacy that speaks faith, love, hope, determination and purpose.
Wishing you all a very happy Father's Day. I dedicate this song to you.
