Happy Father’s Day Dads!

Way to go Dads!

We commend all fathers in the world taking an active role in the lives of their children.

Huge kudos to you.

It’s not an easy task. Yet, you’ve taken on the responsibility head-on.

The positive impact you have on your children will last for generations.

Unfortunately, the flip-side is also true.
Fatherless homes also feel the impact for generations.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 24 million children in America—one out of three—live without their biological dad in the home. And the impact is far reaching.

An infographic The National Fatherhood Initiative published in November 2013 summarizes the destructive impact of fatherless homes. Some of the results include: 4 times more likely to live in poverty, more likely to go to prison, more likely to face abuse, more likely to use drugs, and 7 times more likely to become pregnant as a teen.

Those are depressing statistics.

Increased youth violence, youth crime, greater poverty and economic insecurity, and the failure of increasing numbers of children in our schools offer clear evidence of lack of a positive influence of fathers in the homes. A family needs a father to anchor it. – L. Tom Perry

Can that trend be turned?

We believe it can.
But it will rely on ordinary men – just like you and me.

All it takes are the right priorities.

No other success in life can compensate for failure in the home. – David O. McKay

I love being a father.

Sure, it’s a tough job.

There’s a ton to balance.
And not everything will go like you hope.

There will be discouraging days.
And you’ll be tempted to throw in the towel.

But there will also be great and wonderful days.
And the day will come when you’ll see the amazing impact you’ve had.

Be the best dad you can be!
