Happy Father’s Day! While I am not here to celebrate it with you, I am glad that I have this week to spend with my family. Though it may be tiring, I’m confident that it will be memorable.
I can’t remember where I heard it, but someone gave an interesting “definition” of a dad: a man with pictures in his wallet where money used to be. I thought that was pretty good. Though not all fathers are so generous, it is a joy to provide things for your children, isn’t it. But, far more important than giving “things” is giving time. So, today, I encourage you to spend some quality time with your family. If you can’t be with them, at least make a phone call.
As you celebrate today, I also encourage you to think about the people who have invested their lives into yours. Whether it is a parent, a Sunday School teacher, a pastor, or a friend, take the time to tell them “Thank You” (if they are still living). Make a phone call, write a letter, send an e-mail or text message … just make contact if you can.
I hope that this Father’s Day is a good one!
In His grip,
Pastor Decker
