A Terrific Father’s Day Video Message

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there!

Here’s a short but powerful 4-minute video to celebrate fathers and the sacred role they play in our lives.

I’ll admit, there are days I forget.
I forget why I wake up early and work late, doing everything I can to provide for my children’s every need.
I forget how priceless their hugs are.. the way their little arms wrap around me like I’m their whole world.
I forget how meaningful it is to hear them call out, “Dad,” because they trust me to help.
Sometimes I get so wrapped up in my own struggles that I fail to see the blessings right in front of me.  My children, their laughter, their love, and their faith in me.

Father’s Day isn’t a huge event in our house, but it does something important for me: It reminds me of what it truly means to be a dad.

It also reminds me of my Heavenly Father.
He’s always there, always helping, always loving even when I forget to notice.

Just like I want my children to remember I’m here for them, He quietly works every day to guide me, strengthen me, and walk with me.

So today, whether you’re a dad, have a dad, or are remembering one, I hope you take a moment to recognize both the earthly and the eternal fathers in your life.

Happy Father’s Day.
