“Pay close attention, my child, to your father’s wise words and never forget your mother’s instructions. For their insight will bring you success, adorning you with grace-filled thoughts and giving you reins to guide your decisions.”

Proverbs 1 vs 8-9 (The Passion Translation)

Dear First name / Friend, 

Good afternoon. How are you doing? I can't believe we're in June! I hope that the month so far, has been full of pleasant surprises and opportunities for you to thank God and if it's been a struggle to do so, I pray that God will speak to you personally. He is worthy of your praise, even in the craziest of times. Don't stop praising and don't stop thanking Him.

Remember, you can share this Good Letter with your friends and family because I'd love for them to become my friends and family too. 😀

In some parts of the world it's Father's Day tomorrow and every year it saddens me to see how it's such an unappreciated occasion. Personally, I think we should maintain the same energy from Mother's Day. There are GOOD men out there, doing amazing jobs at being present Father's, we should really celebrate them and for Father's not doing the best of jobs, we should pray for them because Christ would want us to.

So here's my way of celebrating the GOOD men in my life.

To My Father, But First His Sons

To my Father's sons,

Happy Father's Day.

I know you're not Father's yet, but one day, by God's grace you will be.

So, take time to seek God's face and allow Him to Father you.

Be intentional about your choices and plans today because they'll impact the ones that'll follow you.

Be humble in your sonship, so that you'll be gracious in fatherhood.

As you celebrate your Father tomorrow, think about the Father you'd like to become.

I pray that you'll be: 

Fathers with integrity, 

Fathers with love,

Fathers with discipline,

Fathers with joy, and importantly

Fathers with God.

As you celebrate your Father tomorrow, celebrate yourself too.

Now To My Father

Happy Father's Day.

Thank you for being a great Father to us and many.

Thank you for being present.

Thank you for your friendship, your discipline and your apologies.

Thank you for the jokes, wise words and moments of silence.

Thank you for being an example, thank you for being a standard.

Thank you for choosing Jesus, for He has made all the difference.

I pray you'll grow in the wisdom of Christ in your Fatherhood.

And may you continue to enjoy the life-changing fathering of our Heavenly Father.

To Our Father

Our Heavenly Father,

May we always choose to honour Your name.

May Your kingdom be expressed through us.

May Your perfect will be done in our lives, for Your Glory.

Give us what we need for each day - help us to navigate this world in a way that pleases You.

Forgive us for our misbehaviours, and help us to forgive those who have misbehaved towards us. 

For sons and daughters struggling with Father's Day, because of bad experiences with their earthly fathers, I ask that You'll heal and restore their hearts and minds. Reveal Yourself to them as The Good Father.

For sons and daughters struggling with Father's Day because of loss of a father I pray You comfort them. Reveal Yourself to them as The Father of the Fatherless.

As we've prayed for forgiveness, healing and reassurance, we also pray that we not fall into temptation, but be delivered from all evil,

Because Yours is the Kingdom, and All Glory and All Honour belong to You.

May Your Fatherly Love Reign in our hearts forever and always,

In Your Son's Name, 

Amen.

To My Father, To Your Father

To His Sons, To Your Brothers

To Our Father.

Happy Father's Day.
