The relationship between fathers and sons is profound. For those blessed with sons, the journey is filled with opportunities to impart wisdom, demonstrate strength, and cultivate bravery. As the Bible gently reminds us in Proverbs 22:6 (NCV), "Train children to live the right way, and when they are old, they will not stray."
Yet, some may not have biological sons but find themselves exemplifying fatherhood. Their role as mentors, teachers, or spiritual guides imbues young lives with the same courage and strength.
To our sons, "You are Braver than you believe, Stronger than you seem, Smarter Than You Think, Loved more than You know.” As fathers and father figures, the task is to affirm these truths, helping each child to see their worth through the eyes of faith and love. We mirror the unconditional love God bestows upon us that we can teach to the sons in our lives.
