I had a great Father’s Day. I received a hammock, had my favorite cake, which is carrot cake, and had a cookout with my family; it was a great day. I also celebrated with my father. He is the greatest man I know. He disciplined us, and yet he was full of love. My father really set an example for me.
You know the saying that blood is thicker than water. Well my father had another one: Truth is thicker than anything. He always wanted truth to win out, even if it was against his own kids. When we were kids, he told that if we were wrong he would always love us and help us make the wrong right, but he would not choose us over truth. I don’t see that very much today. I see fathers and parents who choose their family over truth. This is what I hear when talking to officials in the public schools. I want to thank my father for loving me enough to always side with the truth, even when I wasn’t always on its side.
Let me encourage you today, to celebrate your relationship with your heavenly Father. He is the only One who is perfect and knows how to relate to each of us just as we need and desire.
