If anything was true, this would be it.

A woman loves a man, who sees his

worth to his children.

I might go so far as to say, not much else grieves us women as much as seeing a Daddy, who has lost his heart for his children.

Or a Daddy who neglects his children.

Or a Daddy who thinks everything is more important than his children.

Or a Daddy who fails to be responsible for his children.

Or a Daddy who hurts his children on purpose.

Or a Daddy who ridicules, shames and disgraced his children.

Or the Daddy who uses his children, rather than loves them in real time.

Or a Daddy who just has no time for

the gifts of his children.

Fathers, you are not replaceable.

You are so very valuable.

What you do in your children's life today,

will reflect in the rest of their lives.

Children are often forgiving, and they

love us through our greatest faults.

All they really want is us.

If there is any one area of your life as a man, that you have got to step up and show up and do it well, it's this being a father.

This is a God given positioning.

Never treat it lightly or thoughtlessly.

To us women, there's really few things as stunning as a man who loves his children well. It just makes you look unbelievably incredible to us. We don't expect you to be perfect, or do everything right all the time, but when you deeply love your children

and they know it, it just makes us want to honor you more.

For those of you who are nobly making a difference in your precious children's lives, thank you.

You are amazing.

Let's encourage our Daddies!
