To All The "Regular Guys" Who Are Honored Today

Most of the dads I know think of ourselves as regularly guys.  (Except for those occasional moments when we fantasize about being the winning quarterback at the Superbowl.  But forget about that, for now.)  So we’re not inclined to think of ourselves as persons deserving of honor.  “Honor” seems like it would be a bit too much.

But the Bible tells us to honor our fathers and mothers.  So, today, it’s good for us to honor dads.  In fact, it’s good to honor our dads everyday.

To all the dads:  Thanks!  Your role in your family is important.  Your influence is important.  Your help is important.  Your presence is important.  Your life is important.  I hope you are genuinely loved and appreciated today.

Thanks, Moms. We Love You!

God tells us, through His word, to “Honor your father and mother.”  That’s what we’re going to be doing at our services today.  To all the moms out there, remember that what you do is very, very, very, very important.  (I’d add a couple more “verys” but you get the point, right?)  We thank God for you and we love you!!!
