The Dad Link

16/06/2024

This is for all the Dads....

I see you Dad.

I see what you do every day that goes unnoticed.

I see you working hard to provide financially, to provide a safe home for your family, and to put food on the table.
I see you on alert when you are out with your family, making sure that you protect them.
I see you building for their future.
I see the sense of responsibility that is always on your heart and on your mind to leave an inheritance to your children's children even though it often feels like that might not happen.
I see you encouraging your children to participate in things that will help them grow.
I see you sharing your wisdom to make them stronger, and wiser, to help them to understand the world around them.
I see you selflessly making sacrifices of your time, your sleep, your own desires, and energy beyond your capacity for the betterment of your family.
I see you being obedient to your Father in heaven, and your children not seeming to notice.

I also see that often your children push back, disrespect you, seem to not be listening to the wisdom you share with them, and ignoring it in their actions. I see them misbehave and not be obedient, sometimes during, or right after you provided an amazing experience for them. I see them wasting the food that you provided, making a mess of the house you provided, running to the world rather than to their father.

I want to encourage you Men.....

Your children hear you.
Your children respect you.
Your children are learning from you, and catch more than you know.
Your children love you.
Your children are proud of you.
You children get their identities from you.
Your morals and values will stick.
Being a father can be joyful and fun!

Your children may not be mature enough to be capable of expressing these truths to you verbally, but I promise you, but one day they will be, and you will know that what I am saying is true. Your children may push back because as they test the boundaries, they know that they can trust you to love them beyond their behavior, and they cannot express their emotions verbally yet, so it comes out as behavioral issues.

Keep fighting for your children, keep protecting your family, keep providing....but I don't have to tell you that...because you already are....

Please take a moment to reflect and share.

What is YOUR favorite part of being a Father?

Happy Father's Day brothers!

Have you been struggling to connect with your partner? Do you feel that some of your issues stem from not being on the same page? Do you feel disconnected from your children in how they express their love to you or how you express your love to them?

It could be as simple as learning how your Love Languages (or Love Styles) are different or similar to one another! It sounds cliché, but once you understand the Love Languages of yourself and your family, it really helps to make communication, conflicts, and connection so much smoother.

Keep your eyes peeled for more about this really awesome life hack!

I saw this floating around social media, and it reminded me of a very simple yet powerful Bible verse, 𝗝𝗼𝗵𝗻 𝟭:𝟱:
"𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘪𝘵."

We have made it through the darkest 10 weeks of the year, which means every day ahead is getting brighter! What a beautiful reminder that there is always light at the end of the tunnel. There are many allegories, metaphors, and proverbial phrases, both Biblical and non-Biblical, that tell us about light amongst the darkness. This verse reminds us that the 𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗮𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀.

I hope this brightens your day as much as it did mine! Whatever challenge or struggle you are facing, remember that there are lighter, brighter, more promising days ahead. ☀️☀️☀️
