My ace number one daughter took us out for Sunday dinner for father’s day. We couldn’t get into the place we had chosen, because the line was out the door and there literally wasn’t a parking space within half a mile. I suppose a lot of dads have the same taste buds I do.
Dads day isn’t a big deal like mothers day. Dads are just some guys that stand around and be gruff with a look of disbelief on their face, so they don’t get all the hoopla. Yet, they are extremely important to the upbringing of a child. And, I’m not talking about changing diapers, cleaning up puke or all that other stuff. Fathers are not good mothers. Let that sink in.
Dads have the job of protecting, providing and praying. That is, if one is a good dad. They are to teach right and wrong, and encourage the child to follow the teaching. Theirs is the hand on the helm of the ship, with a forever watchful eye for any storm brewing. Dads stay, no matter what and see the family through whatever comes. Believe me, that takes a lot of love, forgiveness and dedication.
Today’s society tell you that dads should be mothers. It is little wonder why so many men just walk away from the family. They don’t know how to be mothers, and are incapable of learning something so foreign to their nature.
Dads are made to ensure that there’s food on the table, a warm bed, clothes to wear, and where ever you are, you are safe.
It’s a job that gives children assurance, that love is not always spoken, but is deeper than mere words can express.
