FATHERHOOD

Fathering is much more than a momentary act of husbandry.

Fatherhood is a title earned through respect and love, not given as a birthright.

Fathering is a life-long responsibility with eternal implications.

Fathering is coming to the realization that the most important work that a man can do in this life will be done in the sanctity of his home.

Fathers will teach many principles, but those which are most deeply learned are those implanted on the innocent eyes and ears as we share our daily lives.

Fatherhood is relationship sometimes glimpsed but little understood between the Supreme Creator and his children.

There is a great significance in the understanding that we mortals share the title of Father with He who is the common creator of all humankind. What awesomeness ought to be conjured in the mind when one contemplates the thought that Deity has given us a lab where we might practice this Eternal role which our Heavenly Father has so graciously shared with us, hopefully for more than just the brief moment of mortality.
