Monday Gratitudes-Fathers


I am grateful to know several wonderful, inspirational, strong, and loving Father's. That includes my Father, my Husband, my Brother, and my Brother In-laws. They all have different strengths and qualities and I'm grateful to know them and to learn from them.
Two of my favorite quotes about Fathers are:

"...Fatherhood is not a matter of station or wealth; it is a matter of desire, diligence, and determination.... If that prize is lost, nothing else really matters" -Ezra Taft Benson

"God bless you, dear fathers. May He bless you with wisdom and judgment, with understanding, with self-discipline and self-control, with faith and kindness and love. And may He bless the sons and daughters who have come into your homes, that yours may be a fortifying, strengthening, guiding hand as they walk the treacherous path of life. As the years pass—and they will pass ever so quickly—may you know that "peace... which passeth all understanding" (Philip. 4:7) as you look upon your sons and daughters, who likewise have known that sacred and wonderful peace. - Gordon B. Hinckley
