"Honor your father and mother.” This is the first of the
Ten Commandments that ends with a promise. And this is the promise: If
you honor your father and mother, "you will live a long life, full
of blessing.” And now a word to you fathers. Don't make your
children angry by the way you treat them. Rather, bring them up with the
discipline and instruction approved by the Lord. Ephesians Chapter 6
verses 2 - 4
Fathers are the biggest source of strength for a child. The innocent
eyes of a child perceive father as the all-powerful, most knowledge,
truly affectionate and the most important person in the family. For
daughters, fathers are the first men they adore and fall in love with.
While for sons their fathers are the strongest person they know and
someone they aspire to emulate. Even for the grownups fathers are
someone whom they look up to for the most experienced and honest advice
that is always in the best of our interest. For this great figure in our
life that we know as father - it becomes our utmost duty to pay our
humblest tribute on the occasion of Father's Day.
Say Thanks to Dad on Father's Day
Children blessed with a loving father should consider themselves
fortunate. For, they have someone to take care of their needs and
interests. Someone to stop them when they are diverting to a wrong path
and guide them on a road to success and virtue. For many of us fathers
have always been there to solve our innumerous mathematics and science
problems and explain the same formula hundredth time or better still
until it is understood by us. Fathers would never ever give a smallest
of hint to let us know how hard they work to take care of our needs and
fulfill even the most whimsical of demands... For all their adorable
scolding and affectionate punishments we all owe a big thanks to our
Dads.
Apologize to Dad on Father's Day
Father's Day also brings with it the wonderful opportunity to apologize
for all our rude and insensitive behavior. We as children often take the
love and affection of our parents for granted and treat them with
outright contempt. We need to apologize. We must feel great to have the
presence of loving father in our lives and do not disrespect the
blessing of God on us. On Father's Day we must says “Sorry” to
our Dad and seek their forgiveness for our wrong behavior.
Celebrate Father's Day with Dad
We must make all efforts to celebrate Father's Day with our Dad.
Children staying away from father must especially strive to spend the
day with father and show gratitude for all their support and love. We
must pamper father by spending the day in a manner he likes most. It
could be going out for a picnic or indulging him with a gourmet meal. We
can also express love with thoughtful gifts accompanied by a bouquet of
his favorite flowers. The idea is to show our affection and tell Daddy
how much he is loved and appreciated not just on Father's Day but every
single day of our lives.
