Fathers Day

Abba, Father,
thank you for being such a good, good father to me:
patient, wise, loving, constant, and strong.

Thank you for my father and father-in-law,
for the many years you gave them on this earth,
for the example they showed me
and the things they taught me.

Thank you for the kind of father
my son and son-in-law are
to my grandchildren:
patient, wise, loving, constant, and strong.

You have blessed me many times over
with the fathers in my life and family,
in Jesus' name, amen.
