I have many friends that are fathers on this Father’s Day. Here are just a few:
My son, who is definitely a friend, is a brand new father, and will exceed all that I ever was, or could hope to be as a father.
My son-in-law, who is a friend, has exceeded all my expectations by growing two sons who, by his example, are young men after God’s own heart. He pours into them daily what is right and good in God’s sight.

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. (John 3:16 NASB)
