Happy Father's Day to all the real father's, real men

Proverbs 23:24
The father of godly children has cause for joy.
What a pleasure to have children who are wise. 

  - One thing that I have learned and would like to share is that dad's are not just providers,

shelterers', and disciplinarians, dad's are teacher's who are to teach and instruct their children

in life and the way to live and go.  In Genesis 18:12 Sarah who is Abraham’s wife is noted

saying, “my master-my husband.” The word master is defined as a male teacher or tutor;

someone of great learning skill or ability. So consider this, Sarah first called Abraham master

before she did husband; in other words, Sarah was declaring to Abraham that he must first be

master of himself, and his character before he could be called her husband and begin a family

together! Unfortunately today it seems, men have not mastered their character and their

obedience to God in order to lead their children and wives to do the same.

    In speaking of mastering character I am compelled to mention the fruits of the spirit which

Galatians 5:22 lists as love, joy (joy, whose pre-requisite is thankfulness; you cannot have joy

in anything unless you are thankful for it first. So, find something to be thankful about every

single day, and you will find joy every single day.), peace, faithfulness, humility, kindness,

goodness, and self- control. All of these are essential in living a prosperous single life, but even

more vital in being a father and leader/teacher.
