I don’t know how many dads actually read my blog but if you’re a dad with a daughter, this may catch your attention…
I happen to know some super dads out there but for the most part, it’s not a huge shocker to know that our culture is lacking when it comes to committed fatherhood. I believe fatherless homes are a key factor in higher rates of poverty, failure in school, teen pregnancy, substance abuse, violent crime, depression, and ultimately, a loss of hope.
Every child needs a dad they can count on.
This article of 50 “Rules” was written by a man. I thought it was not only cute but also a good reminder for all fathers whose God given role is to love, protect, model, coach, and encourage their kids.
Dads, your active presence and involvement are so desperately needed today. I hope this article not only brings a smile to your face but more importantly, encourages you to live out your calling and privilege.
*Incidentally, if you haven’t seen the movie, Courageous you need to. We need more honorable and courageous fathers who will stand up to do what’s right, not what’s easy. It’s a well done movie. You’ll be inspired and encouraged. I promise.
“It is easy for a father to have children than for children to have a real father.” ~Pope John XXIII
“It doesn't matter who my father was; it matters who I remember he was.” ~Anne Sexton
