This is Ron with your Motivational Message, wishing all Fathers a Happy Father’s Day:
A father is one of the most important roles that a man can fulfill. The responsibility a father has can be overwhelming (i.e. acting as a provider, protector, educator and disciplinarian) however the impact on a child’s life is enormous.
My father, Ron C. Heagy Sr., was a bit hard on me when I was young. When he became a Christian his rough edges seemed to smooth out. He learned a tremendous amount about being a better father through his study of the Bible. Growing up, I don’t recall him telling me that he loved me until after I broke my neck. I remember that I was feeling down and overwhelmed by the thought that I wouldn’t amount to much. One day I decided that I would try to drown myself in the shower. Moments later my dad was helping me cough up the water. When he asked me what I was doing I told him that I felt like I was such a burden to my family. At that moment my dad pulled my head against his chest and told me that I was not a burden and that he loved me. Now 31 years later, my father and I still say “I love you” to one another on a regular basis.
I just want to thank my dad for being such a wonderful man. I want to thank you Dad, for not once complaining about my physical needs, and more importantly for demonstrating your love through actions and words.
The strongest words that I can think of are the words I love you, particularly from the heart of a father. I have learned, by my father’s example, to consistently tell my wife, my daughters, family and friends “I love you.” Today I encourage you to pass on a little more love to others. Don’t miss an opportunity to tell someone that you love them. My daughters and I made a fun little video just for you for Father’s Day—we hope you enjoy it:
