A Father’s Prayer

June 19, 2020 By Doris Stensland

To honor Father’s Day, sharing this writing: 
             A Father’s Prayer
On this Father’s Day I thank you, Lord . . .
For allowing me to know the joy of being called “Dad”,
     of enjoying little one’s hugs
     and listening to “God bless Mommy and Daddy” prayers;
Of the pride as a little one announced “I’m going to be
     like Daddy when I grow up.”
On this Father’s Day I come to you to ask Your help
     to walk in straight paths so little feet following my
          footsteps will not be led astray,
     for love and wisdom to guide and care for the lives
          you have entrusted to us,
But most of all, Oh Lord, may I point them to You,
     their FATHER who is in Heaven.
                 By Doris Stensland – June 1987
