HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
On today we celebrate and honor all fathers. Be it natural fathers or our spiritual fathers, we thank our heavenly Father for every one of you. We praise Him for your love, your wisdom, your guidance, your fatherhood.

Be blessed on this, your day, fathers, as you emulate our heavenly Father.
