Father's Day

This Sunday was a very good day. In fact, the entire weekend was active, fun filled and family oriented.

I went bike riding, enjoyed breakfast and swam in the pool with my kids to cite a few activities. The best part of the weekend was when they presented their hand made cards for a Happy Father's Day.

I find that as the years pass they seem to share how much more of me that they know through the comments and artistic elements of their cards. I get more enjoyment and appreciation from these gifts as they get older.

Our kids are heavily influenced by our attitudes, behaviours, beliefs, morals and ethics. Being a parent is the most difficult and yet most rewarding vocation. However, despite our best efforts, it is inevitable that our children will be somewhat affected by external stimuli such as peer pressure and the electronic and print media.

We can only give them our love, guidance, faith and trust and hope that their good choices far outweigh the bumps and bruises they will incur in their pursuit of independence.

Essentially, this is what we strive to do with your children in our Catholic Learning Community at CtK.

Happy Father's Day!
