Whether it’s a greeting card, phone call, or gift of a new gadget, Father’s Day gives us a chance to express our thanks to our fathers. This week I am particularly thankful for the blessing my children are to me — not because of the thoughtful note or the hedge trimmer, but because I am able to spend time with them and be involved in their lives.
Imagine finding yourself in a situation where you couldn’t visit with your children this Sunday. Their absence might not be due to them living in another state, being ill, or forgetting it’s Father’s Day. Instead, their visit with you was cancelled at the last-minute — for no obvious reason — by someone in authority over you.
