7 Important Life Lessons from a Godly Father

“This is my first Father’s Day without my father being present to honor. He went home to heaven in January after battling Covid. I was fearing this day, but I should not have. Thinking about dad on this day has made me thankful for him and for the things that he taught me that remain part of my life.” - Kevin Schaal

I enjoyed this article. Especially the warning against disciplining children based on fear. That’s an easy thing to do, especially when you see a pattern of sin forming and you fear it will become entrenched. Helpful reminders throughout!
