“I love you”

Celebrate fathers taking their role seriously. Not perfect, but present.

Growing in understanding their children. Practicing faithfulness and courage. 

Celebrate fathers who seek the Lord for wisdom instead of giving up. 

Who say or demonstrate, “I love you.” 

Freely. Without condition.

A parent’s cry

“Children are a blessing from the Lord.” 

Truly. Absolutely. Our lives are enriched beyond measure by our three. 

But there were days, of course. In the early years of parenting. When those blessings were standing on my last nerve. 

These three. We love them so! (photo: Jonas Photo, Bandung, 2007)
