I’ve been rather behind in a couple of things lately. And one of the these i’m behind in is the Mother’s Day and Father’s Day celebration. I missed posting on Mother’s Day, so I’m making an effort to post something on Father’s Day.
I was a tad late in the wishing part too.. yes i’m terrible.. but better late then never. I went downstairs earlier on today, round 11.50pm on the 15th of June. Yeah like 10 minutes before the clock strikes midnight and Father’s Day is over. Only then I went down to give my daddy a hug and a wish Happy Father’s Day.
…
There were a number of poems I had found, but only this had touched me. And only this I wanted to share. I pray that while my Father strives to be the best man he can ever be to the family, I know no one is perfect. Even so, it does not mean I love him less. Hence this is why, where I cannot say the right words, I would rather say a little prayer. A prayer that will give the strength to keep going on in this world to be the best dad ever.
This goes out to all the other Father’s in the world. Those who are soon to be and those who already are. The baby daughter you’ve raised up still loves you very much and we shall always be your little girl. 
Father’s Day PrayerLord, please bless our fathers,
these men who mean so much to us,
who are greatly responsible
for who we are and who we are becoming.
Bless them for having the courage
to do what’s necessary to keep us out of trouble,
for making us do the right thing,
for helping us build our character,
even when it makes us angry;
and bless them for pushing us to do our best,
even when they just want to love us.
Bless our fathers for being our protectors,
for leading us through stormy times to safety,
for making us believe that everything will be all right
and for making it so.
Bless our fathers for quietly making a living
to provide for those they love most,
for giving us food, clothing, shelter
and the other material things that really matter,
for unselfishly investing time and money in us
that they could have spent on themselves.
Bless our fathers, Lord,
for saving some energy for fun,
for leading us on adventures
to explore the outer reaches of ourselves,
for making us laugh,
for being our playmates and our friends.
Bless them for being our secure foundation, our rock,
for holding on tight to us…until it’s time to let us go.
Lord, bless these men we look up to,
our role models, our heroes,
our fathers.
In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
