dads

It__ time we stand up and demand more of the fathers of this world. It__ time we stop buying into their rationalizations and their sorry explanations. It__ time we give our kids a fighting chance.

My brothers, we have a special and distinct role as Christian men, fathers, husbands, and leaders in the family, in the Church, and in society at large. If we don__ step up, we run the risk of seeing our families overrun and absorbed by the surrounding culture. This is not acceptable. Start with prayer. Be faithful, be consistent, have courage, show humility, and remember . . . we are made for a heavenly home and not this world.

Fathers are_ The teeth on a saw,The head of a nail,The blades on a mower.Fathers are_The grit in a tumbler,The cement in the pit,The coin for the machine.Fathers are_The air in the tires,The spring in the suspension,The key to the ignition.Fathers are... the confidence in a dare,The energy of a command,The boots for the trail.Tis true you might make things work without them, but not at all like they were meant to.

The best fathers have the softest, sweetest hearts. In other words, great dads are real marshmallows.

My dad encouraged me to quit my job and pursue the life that I am about to have. He got excited with me. He was the first one to tell me that I could do it. I am 30 years old, and I still find great power in my own dad telling me it__ possible.I still find great power in my own dad telling me I can do it.

Your love life is insignificant when it comes to raising your children to be respectable human beings. The moment you see them suffer or lower their standards because of your selfishness, is the day you should realize that nothing matters more than them. You are not just the queen or king of your fairy tale. The real story of your life is the gift of time God gave you with them.
