Happy Father's Day Dads!
This weekend at church we gave all the dads a small bag with some golf accessories. Being the one who distributed these gifts, I gave some thought to each of these items and wanted to share my thoughts.
Item #1: Ball Mark Repair Tool
This tool is used to repair the marks sometimes left by balls when they hit the green at a high speed.
Have you ever noticed that dads naturally want to fix everything? They're there to fix everything from broken toys, to broken hearts and broken relationships. They use their hands and their words (which can be extremely powerful) to make things better. Fathers, "Keep fixing things!"
Item #2: Golf Tee
A golf tee is used to help a person have a successful drive. It is a set-up for success (not a guarantee). Good Fathers desire that their children be successful in life, and they do everything they can to ensure this. They do this by encouraging their kids to grow spiritually, emotionally, socially, ethically and physically. Fathers, "Set up your children for success!"
Item #3: Ball Marker
A ball marker is put down on the green when your ball is in the way of another golfer. This "tool" is a reminder to dads that there are times when we also need to get out of the way. Trying to fix everything is not always possible -- sometimes we can make things worse. We need to let God work -- focusing on prayer, faith and trust in Him. For our Father's love for our children is greater than our own. Fathers, "Let God work in your children's lives."
