I know mothers get more attention and credit than fathers, especially when it comes to celebrating these holidays. I have always ponder on why this is, because fathers are so key to our children and the family makeup and it's structure.
When the father who is the head is not key, there is a possibility of a breakdown within the family. I know most of my single mothers will not agree with me, because you do such a awesome job as mother and father. As a single mother myself I too used to think that Taylor is fine with me just raising her, and that I just have to work harder to show that I can do both, but that is not the case. When I decided to stop being superwoman and trying to prove something and allow Taylor's dad to do his part in her life, I saw my daughter transform due to her fathers love and attention towards her. Of course she would benefit more if he lived in the same house, but that's not a possibility, so you live with what is possible. So my fellow single mothers allow fathers to do their part, and pray for your kids fathers if he is a absent father. Pray that God deals with his conscious and heart when it comes to his children.
Fathers are key to our daughters and sons, they show our daughters what to expect from men, how to demand respect from them and to become leaders as they grow. Fathers teach our sons how to be great men, be leaders, how to treat woman, and to grow up and be heads of households. Fathers show our children how to be strong, responsible, and leaders, our kids need these traits.
Fathers you are very important in your child's life more than you think. Yes we carried them for nine months, and they are attached to us, but you carry such a special bond with your children that will effect their lives as adult men and women.
As I close I pray for fathers to be the best fathers they are supposed to be in their child's lives. I pray mercy and grace for fathers who need to restore relationships with their children. I pray favor for fathers who want to be part of their child's lives, but are being rejected and prevented, due to bitterness and unforgiveness on the other person part. I pray for fathers who are incarcerated, and in the armed forces. I pray blessings over step-fathers, and foster fathers, and grandpas and uncles that have stepped in as fathers. Most important I pray favor, blessing, and goodness over all fathers that go over and beyond to be the best fathers in their child's life. We say thank you for your sacrifice, unconditional love, responsibility, and for making your children your number one priority.
Happy Father's Day!!!
