*This can not be long enough because as the Mother, The Father is too Great via the Blessings of the Lord, to be summed in mere words.
I just do my 2cents worth here...*
YOU are the Leaders and Protectors of the World. "God" Blessed you with all the tools needed to be a major success and a Blessing to your children's children. Proverbs 13:22 states, "A good man leaveth an inheritance (this word means many more things than just money) to his children's, children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just. Just as "God" Blessed David to provide all the resources for Solomon to be a major success, "God" does all the same things for you as a Father.
Every man that findeth a wife, findeth a good thing and obtaineth favor of the "Lord". Remember we already have "God's" love, mercy, long suffering and sacrifice. Ask "Jesus" (John 3:16). Place your name in the word world and whosoever. A wife is not found because her price is far above the price of rubies. A wife is given as a direct "Gift" to, for and with You (The Father). She cannot be bought or earned (Proverbs 31:10-31). A wife is a further means of additional Blessings from "God" not including your children. A child or children, son's and daughter's are additional Blessings directly from "God" to You (The Father).
Psalm 127:3-5 states, "As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath His quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate (This can mean within your immediate circle or the enemies placed by satan to block or thwart success). The same children you have lead and protected will become the same to You. This is a reciprocal relationship. You as a good Father thus real man realize inherently that your children are your direct attachment Blessing additionally from "God". Remember satan cannot create children; only "God" can do that. Children are never a mistake, only satan tries to make them seem that way.
Many good Fathers also tend to be Fathers to children outside of their own biologically. The community looks up to them. Children that have not fathers tend to link to them spiritually and become great success. Ask Shaquille O’neal the center for the Miami Heat. His biological Father gave up that Blessing for Shaq's Stepfather to reap all the good benefits from being a good benefit. "God" took the talent from another and gave it to another. To be a spiritual Father crosses the realms of biology. Read Psalms 27:10.
A good Father fits the scripture
1 Corinthians 7:2-5 as well as his wife.
The Father as a leader has the same office of a Bishop in his home, 1 Timothy 3:1-5. What one is at home has a direct affect upon everything you are and do.
I commend all men who are being real Fathers; You are the same spirit that "God" calls "Mighty Man of Valor".
Your day is everyday that is recognized as an official worldwide holiday. Those of us, who had no Father or father figures in our lives treasure, look for, role model and learn from Men such as You (Place Your Full Name).
I salute you in "Jesus" name. The whole wide world needs you so desperately. The truest models of Morality and Integrity.
The Father is the first form of "God" that children learn. The Mother also, but this article is geared for Fathers. Feel free to view or ask for my last article that was for Mothers Day.
There is the theory that everyone knows 250 people and that person knows 250 people... Exponentially the numbers are incalcuble. If you link this theory to Proverbs 22:6, "Train up a child in the way he/she/they should go: and when he/she/they is old (adult), he/she/they will not depart from it. Many people say erroneously, "Will not stray far from". The Bible states will not stray from it. The "it" is the total process of molding the child/child's life linked to "God"(the only positive way).
Good (Great) Fathers know personally the scripture, "children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their Fathers. "God" gets the praise through the exalting of You directly by your children and grandchildren and succeeding generations forever and forever. Your child/children, son/daughter will have an affect upon countless people throughout life.
You as a good (great) Father know not to despise your children, which means to oppress. If one were to look up the word despise in a dictionary or thesaurus, one may be shocked at how long the definition of this word is and the multiple meanings. This scripture is found in Matthew 18:10.
Good Fathers love and nurture their children and provoke them not to wrath (Ephesians 6:4). I can write a book alone on this one scripture.
Oh thank you real Fathers/Real Men (as they say on the Tom Joyner Show), for being the type of person that provides for your own household and not like those men who do not. You the father are the total opposite of what the bible calls an infidel or non-believer. "God" addresses the opposite of you in 1 Timothy 5:8. No matter what they do, it does not matter. How can a male that is not being a Father, go on to prosper with a child or children in turmoil for those that are? Think about it.
"God" first, then children, mothers and others everywhere appreciate, respect and love you more than you may ever know.
I observed a Father with his son and daughter at a library in Atlanta, GA. Watching his interaction and giving him credit where due was an honor. His children admired him. One never knows how many people are watching. The timing of what you do is destiny and Blessed luxury for others that notice.
In this world the bad behaviors of negative Fathers are noticed, You as a Great Man/Father are not noticed enough. Many women pray for a man like you and young men as myself wish to be the epitome of what you are as a good man. There are many children that wish for a Father such as YOU (Place Your Name).
Men such as you are never forgotten.
I have never forgotten my Grandfather, David Woodie Sr. who passed away when I was 17 and took my brother, sister and I out of our last foster homes where we were all seperated, in Michigan City, Ind.
My Grandfather on my Mother's side is the only Real Man I have ever personally known and a man that I aspire to mold myself after and can never forget. A Man that picked oranges in an orange grove starting from the 4th grade.
My Granddaddy raised 5 head of children (As we say in the country),in Palmetto, FL. He Provided a house, car (always kept it as new) and paid the insurance man from over the fence. My Granddaddy was a "God" fearing man, always went to Church, and never knew him to curse, drink or smoke and never put His hands on a Woman. One way He did that was that He was a very peaceful Man.
He raised orange, grapefruit and cherry trees in His yard and walked to and fro from work and never wore a coat in the coldest of winter. Just a sweatshirt underneath His work shirt. My Granddaddy hummed a lot; I would have to insist on mowing the yard on Saturday mornings. Granddaddy would walk with His arms behind his back and when asked what was He doing, he would reply, "I am thinking". I find I am a deep thinker much like Him.
I can go on and on. What I mention here is some of the inheritance that has been left with Me to pass onto my Children, thus my Grandfather's generations.
The book I am doing titled "When My Father and Mother Forsake Me (Psalm 27:10) will be my dedication to them after I am gone. Generations from then, they can always read what their daddy overcame and went through for them before they were born and their wonderful Matriarch who Birthed them into Destiny/Greatness via Her own womb with the Covenant that God has with All Women. Even Jesus had to be birthed through a Womb.
All Births are miracles of a God that keeps giving through long-suffering, tender-hearted kindness, mercy, grace and love. Also all the saints and angels charged in Your lives that are LEGIONS...
My Granddaddy was a brilliant man, he had a 4th grade education. He lived it as You (The Father) do. He used His knowledge and lived it as Wisdom. Wisdom and knowledge are two totally different things. There are many that know but do not do. Who was ever wiser than King Solomon who went totally astray after many females... But all the Blessings were there for, with and in him...
The scripture of Proverbs 3:27-28 states to give credit where it is due. I give the collective whole of good Fathers your credit due.
Let us as children, men, wives, daughters, sons, relatives, friends and associates commend them and each good Father to good Father. As human beings, gratitude is needed.
Let us give him more than a pair of socks, ties, coffee mugs, etc. Let us give them a small sentimental lasting token of our love. Take Him out or cook him His favorite dinner and dessert. Give Him that gift and card that will bring a tear to his eyes when no one is looking. Give Him that deserved hug, kiss and handshake. You ladies as wives show Him how special he is tonight (something extra), respectfully. I promise you, he has plenty of fuel for you! Respectfully...
Give it to Him now while He is still on this earth.
Let us not have to go through the pain of having to wait to get to Heaven, to show Him His just and deserved value.
Yes there is conscious in Heaven, animals, trees, etc.
I do believe that couples, family, friends etc., are together that make it. This is a whole other topic area though.
I never told or knew how to tell my Granddaddy I loved him. He died all of a sudden the day after I told him I was coming to see him after school at the hospital.
My GrandFather was always strong and healthy and had never been a patient in a hospital before.
I was told he had passed away at lunch time during my Senior year.
It is common especially amongst many black men not to use the L-word (LOVE).
I knew He did and I showed it back to Him also.
Just could never say that (L-Word), in the past.
Anyway...
I pray to be Blessed to do something i His honor for Aspiring Youth.
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!!!!!!
Lets give credit where it is due, Pro 3:27-28.
"God" Bless
Sincerely

P.S. My humble Gratefulness to All the cards, emails, smiles, Blessings and well-wishes. Fathers Day is always a tough day for me not being married nor having any children.
But I recall a saying, "To be one did not have is the total cure.".
For me I do not seek titles, one day when I day prayerfully in the long distant, healthy and prosperous blissful future, when I know that my sons and daughters will be well and take care of their Mama, when I know that my childrens children will be well and in good hands, when I know that they have adhered to Mine and My Wifes teachings of staying tohgether because family is the most important things outside of God, when I know that their inheritances are prosperous in their hands, then I pray that is when God will give me the Eulogy as he did Moses : And Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye(eyesight was not weakened) was not dim, nor his natural force abated (reduced), Deu 34:7.
Moses climbed a mountain at the age of 120 years, (Deu 34:1). Also Moses walked a distance through the country side. Moses had to of loved nature. Moses also was evidently able to handle himself without any aid, of course the Lord was with him as well.
YOU TRY THAT, I have climbed mountains before.
I have seen, witnessed, heard and counseled in this area. We need to be the example, God Blesses us to be so, read Psalm 103:6.
But we have to believe it, I do. There are many byouth who feel abandoned and still hurt with the father there because he was not active with them that causes hardship with the Mother who takes up the cause after she has carried the child for 9 months?
But there are many Great Fathers worldwide that do this and my hats off salute to You. I pray to be that same type of Real Man.
Just my words of advice to those who have forgotten and will claim and receive this. We all get busy but Eph 5:23-33 states the wife (and if children involved) comes before Church but only after God. Too many Men put church before God while trying to save everyone else and blast their children when they go astray, thus the popular motto PK KIDS...
Ihave seen that too many times and many have also, but the worst part are the ones that deal with it...
Many times fathers like this are burying themselves in a work as to not deal with home.
I heard I believe T.D. Jakes stated that when "Your dog does not great You when You come home... You have lost the respect (reverance) of Your family...".
I never desire this for myself.
If God Blesses a Man to be a Husband and a Father, he gives You all the tools to be as powerful of Man as when You first met her. Men that do not love their wives in those that are at faults, lost it due to choices. Proof? Men that are old and leave their wives, make babies and are passionate with the new female in their lives, think about it... Read Pro 5:18-19.
I can say soo much more but I will have a chapter in my Book titles, "Parents Need To Realize The Demons That They Spawn".
I can write so much more on/in this area, a whole book worth...
On my grave I pray to have "A Great Husband, A Great Father and A Great Friend..."
This despite what the world may/does say.
I Will Be.
Confident (Heb 10:35).
