I recently read a thread on a Facebook post about being a dad. The comments hit close to home.

“Them: How’s dad life treating ya?
Dads: It’s good. I’m doing alright.”

“Because we can’t sit around and complain and breakdown about it. We have to figure shit out and pull through it for the family.”

“Because we are supposed to be the pillar upon which the house stands. Pillars cannot afford to crack. Which is exactly what the Lord designed us for. We are not supposed to put it on our family’s. The Bible says that iron sharpeners iron. Therefore fathers sharpen fathers. There is a reason the Lord made men more aggressive and stronger built. As pillars, our foundation should be that the Lord is our strength.”

“Because good father’s have to. We have to create the solid foundation that stands strong no matter what. Everything in this world can fall apart, and does. Our families have to be able to rely on us through all of their problems. We have to steer the ship through the storm, even if the sails are torn and the hull is cracked. We are our own lone ship out in the vast unforgiving ocean, fighting the crashing waves and darkened storm skies.”

I think this commentary captures a lot of how we feel as dad‘s in today’s society. However, we are not a loan ship in the storm. As Olaf reminded us, we have a fleet for protection. Yes, we have quite the responsibility and the weight is heavy, but our brothers have shoulders to help us carry the load. Never give up fellas. Reach out when you need it.

Aye!
