What is a "Good Father"?

I want to throw this question out there for you to get a pulse of what the perception is of "good fathers". What we think is a "good father" may not be what society perceives as a good father. We need to determine and establish a standard of what a good father is. Once we know this, then we need to live it so that it can be passed on to our sons and passed over to other fathers that we encounter.

So I ask you now..."What is a good father?" I want to compile comments to establish an outline and then start digging into each of the areas that are established. This will allow fathers to get wiser in areas they haven't encountered yet with their kids.

A close friend of mine, Chistopher H., gave me excellent feedback on what he feels a good father is. Here are his comments (verbetum)...

"My interpretation of a Good Father, would be someone who

is willing to accept the responsibility and consequences for

another individual's actions without hesitation or regret. A

multitasked individual who is committed whole heartedly

to facilitating the growth of his family: spiritiually, mentally,

physically, and financially. A "Good Father" , through careful

observation, must establish a road map for his children to include

flexibility, morality, and intergrity. Lastly, a "Good Father"

should strive to understand the better he maintains his

well-being the better servant is for his family. He must

understand the importance of maintaining his physical , mental,

financial and spiritual health to be the best Father he can be."

I am going to leave you with that for now. Let me know your definition of a "good father".

Don't forget, send me those T.R.U.E. Father pics of you and the kids to post on the blog.

Be strong and talk to you soon.

T.R.U.E. Father Pictures

Guys, I really want to get this movement started. We need to not only talk about this thing called fatherhood, but we also need to show off fatherhood. With that being said, I want to start a "T.R.U.E. Father" picture slideshow on this blog. I want to display pictures of you with your kid or kids. This will serve as a little inspiration to fathers everywhere and I would hope that it will serve as motivation to fathers that need to be more active in their kid's life.

If you want to take part in this movement, please email your pictures (you and your kid/s) to cedricwells7@gmail.com . I want people around the world to see that men are doing what they were put on this earth to do...raise a family, community, nation, world.

Be strong and talk to you soon.
