Dedicated to all Fathers...

Your children measure your love for them by the amount of quality time you spend with them...did you know that?

Did you realize a phone call every couple of weeks isn't enough?

Did you know that your children are pre-programmed to take things personally?

Did you know that choosing yourself or others all the time sends a message to your kids? That message is "You, my son, aren't as important as these other people". It may not be how you feel but it's how children take it.

Did you know that ignoring your children can be just as damaging as physical abuse?

Did you know that the only things in life that really truly matter are family, love and God? The rest of this life is an illusion, a distraction from what truly matters.

At the end of your life, who will be there to care for you?

Who will visit you in the nursing home or hospital?

Who will reminisce with you about fishing trips and days spent building tree houses?

Who will be there when YOU finally figure out that we all measure love for one another in quality time spent together? Who will you have left to share your time with when your time is running out?

The math is simple, if you don't have time for your children now...they won't likely have time for you when you finally figure out what matters!
