This Father’s Day, I am thinking of you and smiling. I am smiling because I know that through Christ, YOU have an amazing future and great destiny. I want to give you this keychain to remind you of how much I believe in you.

In my 20 years of loving and leading youths, I have seen insecurity handicap so many wonderful young men and women. Your background is not your handicap. On this day, I want to remind you – from your generation onwards, it will be different.

On this Father’s Day, I pause to thank God for you. I am proud of who you are and who you are becoming. I pray that you have an abundant life on earth and a rewarding eternal life in heaven. I am writing this as if I were writing to my own child.
