On father's day we think about that, especially as it's beginning to be summer time. Involve the family, have a fun cook out. Knock out one or two items that you just haven't yet had time to conquer. Read a scripture out loud at lunch or dinner. And explain why we're wont to flip the script on father's day.
Culture tells us that Father's Day is the one day each year when it's OUR day. A day for us to receive gifts - socks, a tie maybe, who knows - a belt? Even Father's Day cards are great. But the underlying message from culture is you deserve to receive. So, let's flip the script this year, go against the grain and use Father's Day as a day to MODEL service to others - especially those in our own family. Let's be counter-culture and celebrate who we are as Fathers On Purpose!
