Another Father’s Day has come and gone.Happy Belated Father”s Day to all dads.
Its a day in the year that celebrates what we mean to our families. A few years ago we didn’t see it as a popular day as no advertising dollars were spent.
However, for me was another day. Just like mothers, fathers feel that parenting is a full-time job. Its not meant for us to take a day off, but it is a day for us to be acknowledged. I know that I love the acknowledgment… who doesn’t??.
My joy as a dad happens everyday that I wake and see my 3 boys. Every morning I am greeted with smiles from my five month old twins, Myles and Nolan. My four year old Justin is bright and cheery, ready to take on the world. He always has a lot of questions at any given moment!
You’ve got to love it man. Its not an easy road, but the joys far out weigh the stress. Knowing that I am their role model. They hang on my every word,movement, reaction and more. I keep this in mind as I handle each situation that arise. The relationship that I have with God, their mother and people will create a foundation for them and help to determine how they will grow up in our society.
Our culture has become lax in its moral values and we now choose to quickly use a green flag when it should be a yellow or a red one! As a Dad, I need to be careful of what they watch on TV, the video games they play and the environment in which I place them. I thank God that I have a beautiful wife who has the same ideals as me. Unfortunately, not too many people can say the same
Regardless of how challenging it has become to raise children in these times, I am glad that more dads are becoming actively involved. There are more stay at home dads. This is progress! Change we can hope for, change we can believe in.
Hope you all had a great day
