The world moves fast. Stressors are everywhere. There is a lot required of us as humans day to day. A lot is required as parents. I want to speak on my repeated personal mission of being an appreciative father of my children. They are a blessing. One of if not the greatest blessings in my life. I wanted to share my thoughts on my efforts to honor this.

Father’s Day isn’t about getting a new grill or a few hours of peace on the back porch. It’s about being the kind of father that deserves to be celebrated. And if we’re not showing up day in and day out. Leading our families spiritually Loving our wives well Being fully present and intentional with our kids, then we shouldn’t expect applause for just holding the title of “Dad.” Fatherhood is not a role we check in and out of. It’s a daily calling.

“Integrity is doing the right thing when no one is watching.” It’s true. Quiet character matters. But what about when everyone is watching?

To make a better world we need youth of character. That means we as parents must practice it first.
