Father’s Day is back and with it comes a celebration of fathers all over the world. In Atlanta Father’s Day is celebrated all over the city and in its northern and southern suburbs, alike. The Bible has many verses on fatherhood and the challenges, difficulties, honors, victories and special moments that men will face while doing this special job.
Psalm 103:13: “As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him.”
Proverbs 22:6: “Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.”
2 Samuel 7:14-15: “I will be a father to him, and he’ll be a son to me.”
The ultimate reward always being the moments you have with your family and the futures you help build for the children as their father. Not every road paved with fatherhood is smooth and easy, in fact most are not. In 2021 the percentage of adults living together as husband and wife decreased to about half, according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau’s annual America’s Families and Living Arrangements report.
The family is as important now as ever and any way we can celebrate key pieces of the foundations of our families, the fathers, grandfathers, uncles, big brothers and godfathers, should be done in a big way. And who does a party better than Atlanta?
