What Fathers Day Means to Me

This is a reflection on what Fathers Day means to me. 

My father moved from India to the U.S. and worked very hard to provide for his family. He’s the hardest worker I know, and the perfect example of one who rises above mistreatment and adversity.

He’s set a high bar for his children in integrity, saying frequently: “I don’t care what’s on the report card. I want to know that you’re a good person. I want to know you have integrity and don’t take shortcuts”. Even today, I still keep those words so close to my heart. How rare it is for people to truly be honest and genuine like him? This world is hard guys.

Thank God for supportive fathers (and father-in-laws) in our world. I know I sure am thankful for those two men in my life! Whether you’re new or seasoned, being ‘Dad’ is no easy task. Thank God for our Father in heaven who is the most consistent of them all.

Happy Fathers Day!
