Father's Day

My husband celebrates his mom on Fathers Day because she was a Single Mom and says she was both father and mother. A fitting tribute I believe. She gets a card, a gift, dinner, the works. You see they take it seriously. All three of her sons understand what she took on. They recall their mom quietly doing her nails during their boy scout meetings. Yesterday, I learned on the radio listening to Carey Casey, CEO of the National Center for Fathering, that there over 45 million children in the world who go to bed each night with no father in the house. That's a larger number than I had previously heard. Working with Single Moms each day with the Caring People has brought an increasing awareness that this number is growing. Our goal, to reach as many moms as we can.

Children are a gift from God, blessed is the man whose quiver is full.
