Father's Day: the word father is a synonym for safety

There is no job in this world that is more difficult in the world than being a father. A father is a guardian for his children, a protector of his family, the rock that stands solid beneath the surface of his whole family. As long as I can remember for me the word father is a synonym for safety.

A hand over my head meant that he is always there for me no matter what, a little pat on the back meant that he believed in me when even I wasn’t so sure of myself and when he looked at me with a polite smile meant he was proud of me no matter what anyone thinks.

Father’s efforts are usually overshadowed by a mother’s love as much as they both mean the world to everyone; a father’s love does need to be recognized sometimes and appreciated as well. On the behalf of all the church I want to say thank you to all the amazing fathers that keep on taking care of us every day and all they expect from us is to stay safe and be happy.
