Father's Day Messages

These Father's Day messages are about what fatherhood really means. Some of the messages are famous quotes about fathers, but most were written by the author of this collection.

Do you remember these famous lines in Thornton Wilder's play, Our Town?

"Does anyone ever realize life while they live it...every, every minute?"

"No. Saints and poets maybe...they do some.”

Fatherhood is like that. Fathers of young children sometimes do not realize the profound influence they have on their children's lives and on their souls. What is just a moment in time can be a child's lasting memory.

Father's Day is the one day a year to reflect on the messages a father sends to his children and on the messages that should be sent to every father.

The message below is a revamp of a famous saying about parenthood from an unknown author. This one is guaranteed to put a lump in your throat.

Part of a father's role is to prepare a child to become an adult. That is the message in the Father's Day card below.

“Let's really look at one another!...It goes so fast. We don't have time to look at one another. I didn't realize. So all that was going on and we never noticed..."

– from Our Town by Thornton Wilder

Do you really look at your children? Do you truly make eye-contact? What does a child see when he looks into your eyes? Does he see love?

Young children have not developed the skill to mask their feelings. They are not yet actors. If a stranger looks into the eyes of a young child, do you know what he sees? He sees what kind of father the child has.

A child without a father in his life is a special-needs child. In Biblical Hebrew, the word orphan doesn't mean a child without parents; it means a fatherless child. There are 17 commandments in the Bible for the individual and society to provide for the orphan because of his disadvantage. It follows, then, that to have a father is indeed a blessing.

This is a famous Father's Day quote from an American actor.

This Father's Day message is from a daughter:

This message conveys the definition of a father:

The Biblical King David considered children to be a blessing, as he wrote in the message above. Not all of his children grew into respected adults, but, even so, he considered it a blessing to be the father of many.

The American writer and activist Lydia M. Child (1802 – 1880) said it this way:

"“Blessed indeed is the man who hears many gentle voices call him father!”

Much has been written about the term Dad as opposed to the term father. Some of the popular sentiments are conveyed in the two Father's Day messages below:

Father's Day Messages for Grandfather

The message above is a special tribute to the role grandfathers play in their grandchildren's live. The grandfather is a child's first perception of ancestry and of the family tree which stretches back in time over thousands of years.
