This story intrigued me when I read it recently. The Lord was pleased that Solomon asked for discernment to administer justice, and gave him a wise and understanding heart. He didn’t ask for a long life, riches, or selfish gain. He wanted something useful that would help serve his people well. He looked outwards and gave a selfless request.

I would like to declare that I have four amazing fathers! They all love, protect, and provide for our families. They are strong, wise, and creative. All of my fathers are hard working men.
