You have been honored for the responsibilities that you have performed over the years. You have worked hard and you have kept the family together. However, does anyone see what you had to endure to be a Father? Nobody sees the worries that you take to bed at nights or the pain in your body you had to bear that you fail to mention to anyone. The pressure on the job and what you had to swallow, the racism and the put downs so the boss wouldn’t fire you. You kept in your mind your wife, your children and your responsibilities. And at night when you drag yourself home from work, fall in the bed too tired to eat, you lay there thinking about tomorrow.

God has blessed you. He has given you the strength to overcome adversity. You remember what you have been through; stand up for the right; consider others and be a man of integrity.

Man of God, keep God first, continue in your quest for righteousness, keep your hands in God's hands and let Him lead and guide you in the path of spirituality.
