Some days, your body aches and your strength feels gone. Fever, fatigue, and a pounding head make the bed call your name—but fatherhood doesn’t take sick days.
Even when you’re under the weather, your child still needs you. Your wife still leans on you. And love, on those days, looks like showing up when it’s hardest.
It’s changing a diaper through the chills. Rocking a crying baby while you whisper prayers through a sore throat. Letting your wife breathe while you bear the weight—even when you feel weak.
True strength isn’t found in perfect health, but in faithful presence. You were built for the storm. Not just the ones outside—but the ones within. And even when your body is failing, your heart remains steadfast.
Because your family is watching. God is guiding. And you were made for this.
