Father’s Dud?

Posted on June 20, 2024 by mitchteemley

Last Sunday, we celebrated Father’s Day in my country. Some of us did, that is. Others simply haven’t had the kind of warm, wise, loving daddykins they can wax sentimental over.

Happy Father's Day, Luke Vader

If that’s a little too close for comfort, I pray you’ve reconciled with your imperfect father (or mother), or will (hey, Luke did). Or, if they’re no longer around, that you will in your heart. But perhaps even more importantly, I pray you’ll find, or have found, worthy stand-ins, people to help show you “how to be” in this broken-but-beautiful world.

“(It’s) hard to see the light now, just don’t let it go.
Things will come out right now, we can make it so.
Someone is on your side, no one is alone.”

~Stephen Sondheim

    Fortunately, none of the cards I received were of this variety!

    What a divine privilege it is to be a dad!

    Forgiveness is a powerful force. You can bring honor to your father or mother, no matter what, by the life you live.
