Happy Father’s Day!
How are you honoring the dad(s) in your life today?
As I watch the TV and hear the commercials it seems that the only way to truly honor Dad is to buy him something (recliners, big screen TV’s, golf clubs, etc..)
But I disagree. I don’t think Dad’s really need more stuff. What they really need is more honor.
They need their wives hanging on their arms admiring their muscles, telling them how much they appreciate them. They need big bear hugs from their children and wet sloppy kisses with lots of “I Iove you Daddy!”
Dad’s need their favorite dessert served with love and a round of applause for all they do. They need phone calls from children or a visit. A fancy card isn’t as important as a handwritten note of thanks.
Father’s Day isn’t about money spent. It’s about taking time to honor and appreciate the dad in your life.
Make it a good one!
So true! Why do we think the only way to show people our love and affection is through lavish gifts? I got my husband the new Dad’s Book of Everything. It is a great book! Made by the people who write Dangerous Book for Boys.

I agree…this is the first year I didn’t go crazy and buy my husband something for Father’s Day. Instead, I had my 3 1/2 year old son, help me with homemade gifts. We did plaster hands, and a photo cube for my husbands office. He was pretty happy.. probably more so then if I would of gone BIG.
