Fathers!

Happy Fathers Day!!!! to all the fathers out there. I want you all to know that you are very important in your roles in your families and there is much expected of you from God. Also, i want to say Happy Fathers day to my dad and grandpa!! Happy fathers day to you guys. I have learned very much on my mission about the role of a father and the power that he has on his children and wife to bringing them such joy and happiness or to the bringing of saddness and despair. The father really is the pillar of the home and he needs to be that righteously. A righteous father can really do wonders for his family. He really is meant to provide and support and comfort. He comforts his wife and helps her in her struggles, he never dominates, or is cruel, he never uses harsh or angry words, he is never mean and he always outs his family before him. He is full of patience, and willingly sacrifices for his family. He is humble to the Lord and treats his wife as an equal partner who has her own suggestions and he humbly seeks her help with the Lord to raise their family. He is a good example to his children of what they need to do. "For the son doeth nothing of himself but that that he seeth the father do" (John 5:19) He is not hypocritical, but honest in all his deeds and loves all that is good. He loves God first and puts Him first in all things.

So to all you dads out there. Thanks for all you do and continue doing it.
