Happy Father's Day!
Tomorrow is a most important day as it is Father's Day. Happy Father's Day to all you wonderful dads! (Sorry, Mother's Day slipped by me to honor Moms!)
Can you name some wonderful things that your dad taught you? If you did not have a good relationship with your day, I am so sorry that you didn't have that in your life. God Bless You.
I felt so safe with my dad. I was a daddy's girl. I loved being with him and riding in the truck with him. He was so much fun to be with.
He taught me to always be honest, give 110% to all that I did, laugh often, love your family, respect authority & my elders. He believed in hard work. He loved the Lord and took us to church.
Daddy was a real man. I remember being in a restaurant with him and my mom and a few men were cussing. My dad walked over and asked them to please stop as there were ladies present. The men respected that and not another cuss word was said. Boy, do we need men like that today.
He adored my Mama. I always felt his love for our family and he told us often.
I was so blessed to have had him as my dad. He died in his sleep with a massive heart attack at the age of 56. I know he is with the LORD and I will see him again.
Thank you Daddy. You were my hero!

What a nice Father you had! He had all the good values men should have and taught them to his family. That's wonderful! You don't see that much anymore; especially with the cussing. My husband worked in a ship yard and whenever I was in the area some one would always say, "Watch your language! There is a lady present!" It was so nice to hear. I heard that often in the 1960's but not lately. I'm glad you had a good Father. I'm sure you'll be reunited with him in Heaven one day.
God bless you!

What a great post and reminder it is Father's day.
What I learned from dad is work ethic and discipline. He always had at least two jobs to support 6 kids. The family was always taken care of. If we want the "extra" items we had to work for them.
Another lesson was "NO" was not an option. If told to do something, you did it.
He was strict, but not abusive. He prepared us for life. All 6 of us went on to earn college degrees and were successful in what we did because of what we learned from dad.

3 Reactions@covidstinks2023 My father taught me to always be respectful to others. Let them earn additional respect by their actions/words, likewise earn less respect by actions/words. There is no such thing as one race/color/belief system being better than any other. You don't have to go to church/mosque/synagogue to be a good person. Always try your best, and it will show. Do what makes you happiest, even if no one believes in you. Find your passion, and follow it. You never know when a kind word may change someone's life.
Thank you for creating this thread. My dad showed a lot of his teachings by example. He has been gone almost 12 years now, and I still miss him.

I'm not a father myself, but I owe a lot to many fathers, especially my Dad.
Like most kids, growing up I thought my Dad was the greatest guy on earth.
Unlike most kids, my opinion of him never changed. He was best man at my wedding, and that wasn't just a title.
The last time I saw him I didn't know it would be the last time. So I'm glad I told him, "I have always been so proud to be your son."
