If your own dad is alive, call him and affirm him. Ask some one who knew him to share a story about him. Look for the overlooked dads out there that need not feel alone on father's day. Find a way to laugh together as a family. Send an encouraging text to some other dad.
Culture tells us that Father's Day is the one day each year when it's OUR day. A day for us to receive gifts - socks, a tie maybe, who knows - a belt? Even Father's Day cards are great. But the underlying message from culture is you deserve to receive. So, let's flip the script this year, go against the grain and use Father's Day as a day to MODEL service to others - especially those in our own family. Let's be counter-culture and celebrate who we are as Fathers On Purpose!
