Some Thoughts About Fathers

Hi – I wanted to share a few thoughts about Fathers-

“Until you have a son of your own… you will never know the joy, the love beyond feeling that resonates in the heart of a father as he looks upon his son. You will never know the sense of honor that makes a man want to be more than he is and to pass something good and hopeful into the hands of his son. And you will never know the heartbreak of the fathers who are haunted by the personal demons that keep them from being the men they want their sons to be.” — Kent Nerburn

“You have powers you never dreamed of.  You can do things you never thought you could do.  There are no limitations in what you can do except the limitations in your own mind as to what you cannot do.  Don’t think you cannot.  Think you can.”   — Darwin P. Kinglsey

It’s often been said that the best place to hide something is right in plain view.  For all the Fathers who yearn and strive to be more than they are for those sons and daughters that are counting on them; for fearing that they can’t, but, in love, believing that they mustn’t stop hoping that they can – may your eyes be opened and your hearts enlarged to know that there truly is the potential for greatness within you.  You may not be worldly famous and be something to everyone, but surely you can be everything to someone – the tender, grateful, hoping hearts right in front of you who think you’re Superman.  For all the Fathers who, for them, live on, lead on, and love on – you’re awesome!

Happy Father’s Day!
