Happy Fathers Day!

I want to wish all Fathers out there a great and Happy Fathers Day!

As I sit and ponder about this Fathers Day, it makes me wonder how well of a father I have been. As my kids get older I wonder if I have done enough to teach them for when they become adults. It is so much harder these days for kids growing up. The competition for better grades, getting into college, finding jobs, is so much harder, did I do enough. Did I show them through example that if something was to go wrong, would they have enough faith to call upon the Lord for help and guidance, or would they just give up because it was the easier thing to do. As I have become older, my own father was not there to help and teach me on ways to do better. I have had to learn this on my own. I have had some great people in my life that have given me guidance and have shown me the way to becoming a good father. These people I have appreciated very much. It is so hard to go through this life by yourself. That is why I have such a huge doubt that I wonder if I have done enough.

As time goes on and the kids begin to live there own lives, this will tell whether or not I have done my job as a father was complete. I hope I have done enough. I am glad to be a Father and a dad. It has brought me much happiness. The love that I feel from being a dad is like the biggest, warmest feeling ever! It just makes me sad to see that as they get older, I will not be able to feel such feelings as often. I hope that all dads can experience that warm feeling of being a dad. Bye for now!
