June 18, 2017, "Happy Father’s Day," The Last Refuge, Menagerie
"Fatherhood is the job that pays the least in monetary terms and the most in benefit to the world, along with motherhood. When a man chooses
to become a father, biologically or with his heart, he makes a
commitment that is lifelong and its impact is to be felt longer than his
own life, into the future of his children, grandchildren, and yes, even
great grandchildren.
Through his steadfast presence, his wisdom (most of it on the job,
but maybe lots of it gained from his own father), his protection, his
teaching, his prayers, sacrifice, love, discipline, encouragement and
pride he tempers and builds the character and lives of his children.
Today, in gratitude and love, we pause to thank God for His precious
gift of fathers, modeled in His own image. For all of you, we give
thanks, we pray, we love you. And please, keep up the good work dads, in
your job that has no off days, but great benefits."
