Happy Single Father’s Day!

Happy Father’s Day all! I want to especially send out a holler to all those Christian single parent dads who sacrifice daily for the sake of their children. You know the ones I am talking about: They put their own romantic aspirations on hold in order to take care of a thousand other responsiblities. Like single moms, your job is never done. But today we want to applaud who you are, and what you mean to us. Do you hear the clapping?

Listen, I know Father’s Day is not a real happy day for lots of singles. Sadly, some of us had fathers who were abusive and mean, or never expressed love. Not even a hug! Others, like myself, had wonderful dads who were always there when we needed help or encouragement. Only problem is, they’re not here today so we can’t celebrate Father’s Day with them and let them know all over again how much we love them. I miss you daddy!

Heavenly Father’s Day

No matter what you’re feeling today about Father’s Day, the neat thing is that there is a Heavenly Father who loves you right where you are! Whether you are a single Christian father struggling with the daily duties of parenthood, a single person with painful memories of a bad dad, or a guy or gal just missing your father, our Heavenly Father will never let us down. We can go to Him with all of our burdens (Psalms 55:22), and He will never let us fall. Sometimes singles can feel so alone in the world, especially without the support of loving parents. But Psalm 27:10 promises: “When my mother and father forsake me, then the Lord will take me up.” We can count on the words of God because He is faithful.
