“If we don’t talk, the devil will!” by Steve Lambert
Father’s Day is this Sunday, June the 19th, so I asked Steve to say a few words on the importance of fathers in their families’ lives…
But first a note from me:
Some of my friends reading this may be single moms, and I want to talk to you specifically for a moment. You may be thinking, “This doesn’t apply to me. My children don’t have a father. And I just hate this whole ‘Father’s Day thing’ anyway.” Dear friend, I want to give you two words of encouragement…
- I’m praying for you. Life on this earth can be hard and, sometimes, oh so painful, but no matter who we are, and no matter what cross we have been chosen to bear (and the very nature of crosses are so painful!), God has promised to be all that we need. No, I don’t know your story, but He does. I don’t have what you need, but He does. In his message, Steve says that father’s speak life into their children’s lives. This is what God does for you. Listen to the words He says to you. Teach your children to listen to the words He speaks to them. He is a good good Father.
- If you are a single mom in need of encouragement, please email me at angela@jellybeanjar.org. I have a special “Parent’s Day” gift for you. I love you!
“My wife and I were talking the other day about the importance of communication. There were some areas where I had failed to speak clearly regarding my love for her and the enemy had begun to creep into our relationship with doubts and uncertainty on her part. She said something profound…
About Steve: A busy working father of two, Steve found himself “along for the ride” when Jane first began homeschooling more than 30 years ago. But he quickly saw the benefit to Jane’s unique approach to teaching and became an enthusiastic cheerleader as he watched his children’s love of learning blossom. By the mid-nineties, Steve had become a popular author and speaker at homeschool conventions nationwide. Today Steve remains involved in a variety of family-related ministries, public speaking and writing while enjoying the wonderful role of grandfather. [Steve and Jane Claire Lambert are the founders and publisher of the much loved curriculum, Five in a Row.]
