This is one our fundraisers coming up in June. We do so much for mother's day and not a lot for the fathers. In a prison stat that I read, when handing out cards to inmates for special occasions 90% of mothers day cards were taken and only 5% of the father's day ones were used. We all love our moms!!! For the most part, the fathers of the addicts we serve at the Dhouse, were never present or, if they were, were abusive. On June 16 we would like to honor our fathers, but most of all the Father that I'm introducing these men to, Father God, the one father that will give us true love and never disappoint us. I have asked one of our men to share his testimony that night. He has been separated from his wife for the last couple of years. They have a 5-year-old son who he hasn't seen a whole lot of due to his addiction. In the last couple of months, though, she has given him permission to spend Saturdays with their son. He is beginning to rebuild trust and a relationship with them, all because he is letting his true father, father him. AMEN.
