A Father's Day Reflection

Today is Father's Day. I've been a father for 19 years. My son still is at home, going to school, but he's now bigger than me! But being a father is an adventure that I'm glad I've taken up.

So, here's my prayer for fathers:

Gracious God, Father of us all,
Guide us, we who are fathers,
that we might be gracious, loving, and empowering parents.
Give us insight that we might share with our children.
May we encourage them to explore their world
and take hold of their dreams.

And we who are children,
May we remember and honor our fathers.
May we continue to lift them in prayer,
and consider the gifts that they have given us,
even if they were or are far from perfect.

Amen.
