A Man of Honor

Honor is a trait not born in a man,
but earned by him-
through self-sacrifice and full commitment
to the purpose God has for His life.

You're a great father-
a man of honor
who has earned my admiration.
Happy Father's Day

He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, righteousness and honor. Proverbs 21:21
