I hope all of you fathers had a wonderful Father’s Day celebration filled with love and fun. This was the first Father’s Day that my children did not have the opportunity to celebrate with their Daddy, due to his passing away last year. For all children whose fathers are deceased I hope you celebrated the love and fun times that you had with your fathers. I Thank God for all fathers and the important roles that they play in the lives of their children. Children continue to show love for your father daily and make as many fun memories as you can.

Reflections:
*On Relationships: In my opinion the most important relationship that I can have is with Jesus Christ and I thank God that I have that (feel free to ask me about my belief). I also have experienced other relationships that are important in this life (family, friends, spouses, acquaintances, etc.). Oftentimes when one of these relationships is not present in our lives, I’ve discovered that it’s possible to form “Intentional Relationships”. That is through participating in church and community activities, greeting people with a smile, listening to the discouraged and encouraging them. People remember kindness and thus new relationships/friendships are formed. (A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother. *Proverbs 18:24)
