Any fathers in the house?

Today, co-writer Paul Marc Goulet wrote the message of “A Miracle Every Day”. I pray his message and audio will bless you today.

Fatherhood has become a lost treasure. The concept of being a good dad seems to have gotten lost in the midst of careers, hobbies, cars, tv and social networking. Maybe this pandemic has helped us refocus more on relationships, especially the important ones. 

Don’t get me wrong: COVID-19 is bad, really bad. However, I’m convinced the promise from Romans 8:28 is truer today than ever: “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.” (Romans 8:28, NKJV)

Have you found any good in this terrible trial? Have you become a better father, son, wife or daughter? 

I’ve spoken about my dad on many occasions because dads are important. As a WWII survivor, he didn’t have the ability to be a nurturing father. He was tough as nails, and he wanted his sons to be that way as well. On Father’s Day, I can’t help but think about all the amazing things he was and did. I don’t rehearse a list of my dad’s failures. I celebrate the good and try to be the best I can be as a dad.

I’ve discovered another wonderful truth about fatherhood: it never ends. My children are all over 30 years of age, but they all look at me as dad. We now have 12 grandchildren who call me “Papa”. Fatherhood never ends; it just grows. We’ve grown through the toughest ages, and we’ve learned how to be a father for generations. It’s not easy, but it’s so rewarding. It’s frustrating at times, but I’m committed to the process.

What about you? How do you feel on Father’s Day? What will you do this Father’s Day to make it special for your dad? How do you feel about your fathering skills?

I hope you choose love and forgiveness. Please never forget Jesus taught one prayer, and it started like this: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.” (Matthew 6:9, NIV).

Fatherhood is a unique privilege to create generational leaders, not just children. 

You are a miracle.
