FOR THE FATHERS

Hello family and friends.  I have come to think that the dads are very important because of the role that God has given them of being the head of the household.  So I should write something for them.  A dad doesn't carry you in the womb, but he does protect you. A father does not suffer the inconveniences of pregnancy, but accompanies and takes care of your mother.  A father cannot give birth to his son, but he holds his mother's hand to instill courage in her, and he also waits anxiously and without sleep.  Dad quietly cares and prays for the lives of his wife and son.  Dad helps you to take a bath and often changes your diaper. Dad doesn't breastfeed his kids, but he does help mom eat and rest.  Your daddy knows how to hug and comfort when you need it.  Dad has a very important job like your mom's, why?  Because when the baby is born, he is also afraid of not doing things right, but he is willing to do his best.  Dad is dad, because he loves the baby and his mom unconditionally.  Dads, your presence and mission in the family are irreplaceable.  So dads return to their God-given place as protectors and spiritual

leaders of the home.  Keep fighting, keep praying, keep trusting, and keep believing in Jesus Christ who can do everything.  There is no way to go back to the time that passed and correct the mistakes, but there is time to correct and put your life in God's hands, and thus avoid failures. 

Remember that good education is the vaccine against ignorance.  Instead of buying your children everything you never had, you should teach them everything you never were taught.  The material is over, but the knowledge and love of God remains forever.  Keep in mind that the job of parents is not to raise perfect children, but children to be aware that there is a powerful God who created us.  Children should be raised respectfully and taught to fight for their dreams.  Do not forget that a child

does not seek to be happy, because he is happy by nature.  The adult seeks to be happy because he has forgotten to be a child.  Remember, children only have one childhood.  Please dads make it pretty.  No one is prepared to be a father, but with love, effort and patience we are achieving it day by day.  I tell you that everyone talks about peace, but none of us educates children for it, but rather we educate them to compete without realizing that this is the beginning of any war.  It is better that we educate them to cooperate and be in solidarity with each other and then that day we will be educating for peace.

Happy Fathers' Day!!! 

With love
