To the fathers… and all the men who care for us…
To the grandfathers and the spiritual fathers and the father figures
To the foster dads, the single dads, and the step dads
To the mentors, friends, guardians, and guides
To those who loved us, taught us, and showed us the way
To those who carried us, held our hand, and watched us grow
To those who experienced blessing this year
And to those who went through loss
To the heroic men all around us
We want to say: Thank you
Thank you for your courage, your kindness, and your faith in God
Thank you for shaping us, coaching us, and walking with us through life
Thank you for showing us what it looks like to love and follow Jesus
Thank you for your prayers, your wisdom, and for never giving up on us
Thank you for boldly stepping into this high and holy calling
For the long nights and the short years, and the incredible joy
Whether this day is a day of reflection, rejoicing, or remembering
We acknowledge you
We honor you
And we thank you, today
Happy Father’s Day
