Unseen foundation of family

The Weight of a Father's Love

''Dad, we ran out of gas.''

''Dad, we need more soap.''

''Dad, the pantry is empty.''

''Dad, school fees are due.''

''Dad, I need my allowance.''

Similar: ''Dad, I've got a doctor's appointment.''

''Dad, will you take us to the movies?''

''Dad, we have no internet.''

''Dad, here's the electric bill, sir.''

''Dad, here's the water bill.''

A father, day in and day out, is the one who holds the load of his family, works harder than anyone, makes silent sacrifices, puts his family above everything else. Never say your father didn't do enough, or wasn't there. You might not get to see the struggles he hides, but the smile he wears is for you.

Love and respect your father. His power is the bedrock of your faith.

Blessings to all the hard - working fathers
