Let’s Love All Fathers!
Great Fathers make no assumptions, keep agreements, take
nothing personally, do their best.
Imperfect
fathers neglect to listen, forget things, get hurt and angry, and get lazy sometimes.
Everyone is
learning and growing, healing and becoming more aware.
Love all
Fathers!
They may not know what they are doing.
They may
not make the best choices.

not always give you what you want.
They are
people who deserve our love and respect.
Forgive them.
Love them.
Honor them.
Appreciate them.
When anyone disappoints you, love them anyway.
When anyone
hurts your feelings, forgive them anyway,
When anyone
is not there for you, love them anyway.
When you
learn to love no matter what, you will feel whole.
Everyone is healing their past.
Everyone is
doing the best they know.
Everyone is
trying to survive or grow.
Everyone
deserves our forgiveness for what they do not know and appreciation for trying
to be better.
Some of you have great fathers, step fathers,
grandfathers or surrogate fathers.
Love and
appreciate them, by letting them know.
Some of you
have unhappy, neglectful, fearful and angry fathers.
Forgive
their ignorance and their failures and learn to send love, peace, blessings and
wisdom.
Everyone deserves the best we have.
We need to
stop making assumptions and love them anyway.
Everyone
needs to feel loved, especially if they have not been well loved.
We need to
show them our love and share with them our appreciation and good wishes.
The men home from war with deep unhealed trauma and pain
deserve our love.
The
addicted and wounded men who have never had kindness and comfort deserve our
help.
The
productive and unemotional men who just know how to work and watch sports
deserve gratitude.
The angry
men who don’t know how to love and care for themselves and others need our
care.
We know fathers who try and cry when they don’t
understand why they are not enough.
We know
fathers who are never really heard and hurt inside because they feel used.
We know
fathers who are alone and don’t have anyone to say thank you or get a hug.
We know
fathers who just do what they are expected to do and still need us to care.
Take time to make a call or write a note, or give a hug
with “Thank You, Dad”
Do It Anyway by Kent M. Keith
People are often unreasonable, illogical and
self-centered.
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish
ulterior motives.
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends
and some true enemies. Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you.
Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy it
all overnight.
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous.
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow.
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough.
Give the world the best you’ve got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and
God.
It was never between you
and them anyway.
