1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2 "Honor your father and mother"-which is the first commandment with a promise-3"so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth." 4 Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead,
bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.
Ephesians 6:1-4
Children's children are a crown to the aged,
and parents are the pride of their children.Proverbs 4:1-5

The weekend is here! Time to celebrate all our dads!
I hope that you got the chance to reflect on the fatherless and that your heart is touched to get informed and to do something about the orphans, widows and the alien(immigrants). There are many organizations that you can trust with your financial aid. WorldVision is the one in my heart. I sponsor a child who has parents but who live in poverty in a village affected by Aids. i want to contribute in the life of a child and know that his community is being provided with running water, and that the adults are being trained to plant their own and grow their own cattle. There 143 million orphans, 143 million fathers missing either by death or abandonment and there are 143 million mothers that are also missing by death or abandonment and so many other single mothers, widows that have a hard time raising children to succeed in life.
These are my two precious children in my life, my nice and nephew. Their faces are not familiar to you but I know they need a father and my father is doing his best to be there for them. Imagine the children in our lives unprotected exposed to the dangers of perverts and greedy people, don't they deserve God's love through us?
Who cares for the widow? who cares to bring her flowers and tell her that she is beautiful, who hugs the widow when she feels lonely?
Who care for the immigrant who has not documents and is sick?hungry? or lonely?
Men can make a big difference in our world and many godly men are already doing their part. We all should help to bring up more Godly men in this world. As women we should support and pray for our men, young and old. And the men should be encouraging each other more with the word of God and seek wisdom together to heal their community and their city and their nation..seeing every child as if it was their own.
Congratulations to the great daddies out there; a round of applause to the single dads, dads to be, recent dads, the ones in heaven and the ones to come! There are wonderful men that we have around us and this weekend we should honor them all. All praise and honor go to our Heavenly Daddy, who is always waiting for his sons with open arms.
Happy Father's Day!
