My pastor says that Father's Day doesn't get the respect as other holidays like Mother's Day and Grandparent's Day. He says even Flag Day gets more respect.
"I get no respect," lamented Rodney Dangerfield in his often mimicked comedy routine.
I guess, in a way, that can seem true. But how many times have I heard, that guy or girl needs a male role model in their lives? So, it seems to me that the role of Daddy still holds as much weight as the role of the much beloved Mommy.
We've seen it over and over. Some dad in Podunk, USA treats his kids like a punching bag and another dad just doesn't bother to show up.
Those guys only seem to give dad's a bad name. But for every loser dad is two or three fantastic dads who are always there for their kids. They are the good role models, the ones to look up to. But they don't show these dads on tv because the stable, faithful, loving dad is just not news.
Well, today honor those dad's who always get it right, who are there no matter what. Because their efforts are not in vein. Those dads help to create the honest, good-hearted citizens of tomorrow.
Blessings to all the dads today.
