MY! FATHER

"A good father is one of the most unsung, unpraised, unnoticed, and yet one of the most valuable assets in our society." Billy Graham. 

On this very day, Sunday, June 20, 2021. We take a moment to honor and celebrate all the sons that play the active role of a father figure. For embracing the responsibility of nurturing and raising children, and for the devotion to their family. We want to remind you that your efforts and sacrifices are always recognized and appreciated.

God’s desire for every father is to courageously step up and participate actively in the life of his children that he brought forth into this world. And be a visual representation of the character of God in heaven. As the head of the family, he should lead his family on the right path by example. Protect his family, provide for their needs and discipline his children when they go astray. A father is responsible for molding his children to work with integrity and to treat other people with respect and love. Teaching them to be responsible men and women in society.

Correspondingly, a father is accountable to God for the role he plays in influencing his children. Equally, a father is given an opportunity of leaving a Godly legacy to the next generation. Regardless of your past mistakes, what your father did not do for you. You should love your children unconditionally and teach your children to do the same.

  "Any fool can have a child. That doesn't make you a father. It's the courage to raise a child that makes you a father." Barack Obama. To those of you who have no children of their own, but play the active role of a father figure to the absent fathers and orphaned children. We salute and respect you for being a mentor and giving direction to these children, may the Father who is heaven bless you abundantly. 

“A father’s tears and fears are unseen, his love is unexpressed, but his care and protection remain as a pillar of strength throughout our lives.” – Ama H. Vanniarachchy. We thank the fathers who have gone above and beyond to answer the call that God gave to them. Thank you for making all the sacrifices silently and working hard just to get us a better life. We love you!
