"ONE FATHER IS WORTH MORE THAN A HUNDRED SCHOOLMASTERS"

Happy Dad's Day!

June 15, 2018 - FAMILY RESEARCH COUNCIL

Talking about the importance of dads, the poet George Herbert once said, 

"One father is worth more than a hundred schoolmasters." 

In a politically charged age like ours, some would have us believe a father's presence is unnecessary. They're wrong. No role is more vital -- or important -- than a dad's.

I'm one of the fortunate ones whose father is involved in my life to this very day. What he's taught me -- and continues to teach me -- has been passed on to my kids and one day, my grandchildren. Unfortunately, not everyone is so fortunate. 

Some have dads who are present, but not involved. Others just aren't there. This Father's Day Weekend, I want to challenge all of us as fathers to recommit ourselves to our children. They may not say so, but they need us. And moms and kids -- let your dads know that you love them!

Take time this Sunday to celebrate the irreplaceable contributions of dads everywhere. Dad: Happy Father's Day, and on behalf of FRC, our best wishes for a Happy Father's Day!
