In the last 10 years I have understood more the importance of a father or male role model in a child's life. I am still learning new things. I recently went to an event with my grandson at his school. It was hosted by All-Star dad's and the principle was the speaker. He started the program by going over statistics of the different things children face without a father or male role model. More likely to commit suicide , go to prison, or do drugs. I have a chance to be a positive influence on someone's life who is in my immediate circle.
I can't go back and undo the past.
Since I started doing the prison ministry, I have noticed no mention of dad or, if mentioned, in a negative way. A while back, a ministry brought Mothers day cards to a local prison. They were all bought. The ministry thought they would have the same success with Father's day cards. Not a single card was bought. Father's leave a lasting impression on their children, good or bad. Sons will grow up like their fathers and daughters will look for a husband that models them. I see this around me and the affects it has. Dad's, spend as much time as you can with your kids. Show them that you love mom so that your sons can grow to be good husbands and your daughters will know what to look for in a husband.
