My name is Omar Calvillo, First of all, happy Father's Day to all the men out there, those who have been chosen by God. To take care of his children. So much props to you you see the sign behind me, it's, uh, congratulations 2025 to all the graduates. Uh, may God bless you. May God continue to lead you to guide you. Uh, we just finished celebrating. My youngest son's graduation. He just graduated high school and he's on his way to, uh, college. Uh, me and my wife were talking recently. Both me and my wife didn't get to, uh, graduate high school and all three of our children have, graduated high school and now, uh, have gone to college or on their way to college. One of our goals as parents, as fathers. Should be to see that our children surpass us. I heard, someone once say that our ceiling should be like the floor or like the foundation from which they build. So that should be one of our desires as fathers to see our children excel and to grow, to prosper. Uh, one of the ways we do that is by us drawing close to our Heavenly Father seeking Him, praying, having that relationship with'Him maybe we could impart some of that to our children. Uh, today, as I was reading my daily devotional in the morning, I came across one scripture in, uh, one Thessalonians chapter two. These are verses 11 thru 12, and this is the Apostle Paul speaking. He says, for you know that we dealt with each of you as a father, deals with his own children. Encouraging, comforting and urging you to live lives worthy of God, who calls you into his kingdom and glory. When I read this, it reminded me that these are three things that our Heavenly Father does for us through His word, through His Spirit, what does he do for us? He encourages us. He comforts us. Not only that, he urges us to live lives worthy of the calling that he has upon our lives. That's three things that we should be doing in the lives of our children. They should be hearing and seeing us encouraging them, speaking words of life into them. Second thing, comforting them. You know, our children go through a lot, just like we went through some things. We should be there to comfort them, to hug them, to, to be a listening ear for them. Just to be, present for our children to let'em know that we care and that we love them. Three, we should be urging them to live the lives worthy of God who calls not only us, but them into his kingdom and glory So today, on this Father's Day, I wanna wish all you Men a blessed and very happy Father's Day, on behalf of all the"From Wrong To Strong" team. God bless you. My name is Omar Calvillo, and I am wrong to strong.
