Dear God, Thank you for all the fathers (including step dads)…this morning’s short prayer
Published June 17, 2012 | 
Dear God,
As Father of all of us and creation, I want to thank you for this day. My heart is filled with love and wonder as I get to enjoy another beautiful day of life.
Thank you for all the fathers out there who are involved in their children’s life. I know I appreciate my own dad and how much he influenced me growing up. As a classroom teacher, I see first hand the difference a father’s presence or absence makes in the life of a child.
I would like to put in a special good word for the step dads out there as well. To be a step parent requires a lot of selfless giving and often without a lot of appreciation. God bless the step dads out there who step up and care for the children in their blended families. You have an important role to play!
Love and light…Amen!
Debra
