Father's stands and support:

Will the REAL Father’s please stand up? This father day may not answer this question! Let ‘s take a look at how Father’s Day begin 100 years ago. In 1909, Sonora Smart Dodd heard an inspired message at church about Mother’s Day. Sonora was one of six children being raised by a "SINGLE DAD" in the Spokane Washington community. She wanted to honor her father.

She encouraged local churches to institute the first Father's Day observance the following year, and the idea caught.This Father’s Day will mark the 100 years of celebration within the United States. However, Congress did not passed it until 1972 as a national holiday.

Here it is the year 2010 and there are thousand’s of Single Dads, roaming the street, pounding their chest, stating "I a man," with no care in this world, when it comes down to taking care of their own children.

In 1910, one "SINGLE DAD" took care of six children. In 2010, only 80% of single dads take care of at least one child. However, they may claim their have more, but refused to support or take care of their true responsibilities. Will the REAL Father’s please stand up?

Today we still honor servicemen who lost their life on the battleground of service to their country. Some where fathers, some where son’s of fathers, some where brothers who wanted to be fathers someday. Cousins and nephews who join as a team and none came back. These men of honor have their names on stones. They where all REAL.  Now they spirit lives on.

A true Father stands and support. A true Father knows his responsibility from the time they meet, to the time they commit. He knows that one birth of a child, will lead to other generation of responsible individuals.

A true Father is never prepared for all that life throws at him and his family. Accident and hailstorm, lightning all around the house. He gathers everyone in the same room as he goes outside to secure all that they have. Then when he returns he states it all secured "God will take care of the rest."

Will the REAL Fathers please stand up? REAL Fathers can say NO! and they children understand that. REAL Fathers set time zone to be in this home (don’t be late). REAL Fathers are disciples too! They expect they children to behave too! REAL Fathers will go to work and finished his day. His children are expected to go to school to learn and finished their education too.

The true way you know a REAL Father who adores his children. Watch the neighborhood kids who thinks your Father is some strict, yet they are always over to your house.

A REAL Father knows best.
