022524...“Fathers”...Colossians 3:21

"Of all the human relationships, the bond between father and child is one of the most powerful and complex. We may look to our mothers for unconditional love. But be we men or women, we often seek to validate our existence through the approval of our fathers. If our father dies or in some way is absent before we earn that approval, we live the rest of our lives feeling cheated.“-T. Berry Brazelton , Children’s Hospital, Boston
