Speaking as a father myself, Fathers Day is seen by most of us as just another day. Being a good dad does not require a special day of thanks. For a really good dad, what gets done flows through a deep need to protect the ones he loves, provide for them as best he can, and show them love as often as possible.
Those things come different for every day I think. The basic needs of a child are a given. They need a place to sleep, food on the table, and love. Those things are the very basics for being a good dad. And, if I may add, I use the word “good” in front of dad because there are far too many that are not good dads.
The key ingredient of being a good dad, to me anyway, is sacrifice. The moment you become a dad, a good one anyway, what you want, or what you need, becomes secondary to the wants and needs of your child. Same premise goes for being a good husband. When you wear the name “daddy” sacrifice just becomes a part of your life. I say that with the knowledge that the best father that ever was, God Himself, sacrificed for us, and sacrificed the ultimate gift ever.
