Giving Rise to Life

“It is befitting that Father’s Day falls on Summer Solstice this year. One meaning of ‘father’ is ‘to give rise to.’ Yes, of course. Our fathers have given rise to life, to our life. And the sun, every morning, gives rise to a new day.” – Scott Awbrey
Affirmative prayer: Today, I honor the life-generating, protective essence that is present in our fathers and our father-figures. I give thanks for the goodness, the intelligence, and the love that inspires me to rise up again and again. Thank you, God, forever. Amen.
