A Faithful Father’s Daily Sacrifice
Every morning, before the sun fully rises over our Arizona sky, my husband is up and off to work. His sacrifice starts before breakfast—quietly giving his strength, energy, and time to provide for our family. And when he comes home? He’s not done.
He showers off the day, scoops up our baby with a smile, and jumps into pool time or football practice with our teens. Many evenings, the sizzle of dinner on his beloved grill is a sure sign that he’s still serving. Before we eat, he leads our family in prayer—a steady reminder of who we are and who we serve.
This Father’s Day, I want to honor not just my husband, but all the dads who wake up tired and still choose to lead their families with faith, love, and purpose.
Gifts for the Golf-Loving Dad
If your husband’s idea of rest is a round of 18 or a putting practice in the garage, here are some great Father’s Day gift ideas he’ll love (and you’ll love giving):
⛳ Funny & Thoughtful Golf Towels
- Happy Gilmore Golf Towel – For the movie-quoting, Adam Sandler-loving dad.
- Caddyshack Golf Towel – A classic for the comedy-loving golfer.
- The GolfFather Towel – Perfect for a dad who’s the boss on and off the course.
🕷️ Hero-Inspired Golf Gear
- Spiderman SuperStroke Putter Grip – My husband’s top pick this year. Also available in Hulk or Ironman.
👣 A Sweet Homemade Gift From Baby
Create a golf-themed keepsake using your baby’s footprint! Use green ink or paint to stamp the foot, add a black “hole” and flag, laminate it, punch a hole, and tie a string for a custom car mirror gift. My husband treasures these small tokens of love—each one a little moment frozen in time.
🧢 New Golf Gear (You Can’t Go Wrong!)
- Stylish and cool for the summer: Birddogs Shorts & Chubbies Everywear Men’s Shorts
- His other favorites: William Murray & Bad Birdie golf shirts and hats.
🏌️♂️ The Best Gift for the Organized Type A Mom 😉

A Word of Encouragement for Dads (and the Mamas Who Love Them)
To the dads reading this: thank you for showing up every day. Your strength, your laughter, your presence—it matters more than you know. You are seen, loved, and appreciated.
To the mamas: keep cheering him on. Your words of encouragement, your small acts of support, your quiet prayers—they uplift him more than you realize.
“Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. Do everything in love.”
— 1 Corinthians 16:13-14
🙏 A Prayer for Dads This Father’s Day
Heavenly Father,
Thank You for the gift of fathers—those who lead their families with strength, love, and quiet sacrifice.
We lift up every dad reading this today, and those loved by the mamas who visit this space.
Bless them, Lord, with wisdom to guide their children in truth,
With patience to reflect Your grace,
And with courage to keep showing up—when they’re tired, when it’s hard, and when no one else sees.
May they delight in the joy of their children,
Find strength in Your promises,
And walk boldly in the calling You’ve placed on their lives as fathers.
Help them know they are needed.
That their presence matters.
That their love leaves a legacy.
And Lord, bless the mamas who walk beside them—
Strengthen marriages, knit families closer, and let homes be places of peace and laughter.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
Happy Father’s Day to the real-life superheroes out there. May your day be filled with joy, rest, laughter, and maybe a hole-in-one.
