A FATHER'S PRIDE

By Irving Serrano Sr

 

There are many topics in life that people debate, as to questions; what came first..... the chicken or the egg? One thing that is certain is, if you exist. It`s because you had a Father. At one point in time a guy met your Mom, maned up and married your mom, caring for Her and your future existence. Then hung around, not just till you became 18 eighteen. He`s always there for you in one way or another. It takes a lot of effort, time and money to raise a child. We must always cherish and celebrate both Moms and Dads. Our Bibles teaches us to; honor our Fathers and Mothers, and it goes on to say; for this will add days of life to our lives.(Exodus 20:12) Some times Fathers are like an invisible man. Like a super hero. They spend a lot of long hours away at work. He`s that Man who pays for the electricity, so your cool during the day, and so your warm on those chilly nights. He pays for your cell phone, provides the food you eat. Some how you don`t fall out of bed because He comes in without you knowing it and tucks you in at night. He takes out the trash, and fills the sugar bowl. He`s usually up and away, even before your awake. But when you have a school play, or a baseball game. To your surprise, He`s right there cheering you on! Yes, we some times think, Oh He`s not coming, or He does not care. I`m aware that there are single parent homes, and I also know that for some, Circumstances are different. For the most part, All Father`s carry a pride. A pride that gives them strength to endure long hard hours of work. In their minds, their sacrifice is to achieve the the goal of producing what their Son`s or Daughter`s needs. Right along with keeping in mind the needs and wants of your Moms. The ones who hold everything down in the meantime. Today I am so grateful that God blessed me with both a great Mom, and Dad. In reality, a day never goes by that I don`t use or say something learned from my Parents. Both my parents have since passed away to be with our Lord. And as a Father, and Grandfather I strive to pass on the teachings, the love and care for those in my midst. As Both My Parents have done. I encourage you to honor your parents, and cherish the moments with them. Here`s wishing every Father, and single Mom, a very Happy Fathers Day.
