Daddies Fix Things
That's What Daddies Do
Daddies fix things. They fix flat bicycle tires, start stubborn lawnmowers, repair leaky commodes, troubleshoot washing machines, and get swings swinging again. Most of the time, they may not know exactly what they're doing, but they always do their best because that's what daddies do - they fix things.
My daughter called me one day and told me the battery was dead and her car would not start. At the time she lived across the state. It was at least a three-hour drive. So, I told her that I was on my way. She said Daddy, I don't want you to come and fix it. I just want you to listen to me. So, I listened to her. After all, that is what daddies do.
But if she had wanted me to drive three hours to fix her car, I would have. I believe that is my job as a daddy. No matter how busy or important a man is, his children come first. Whether his son or daughter is five or fifty when they say “Daddy, I need you.” He will drop what he's doing and go to them. Because that's what daddies do.
For years, sitcoms have denigrated fathers. The government has tried to replace dads, and social groups have attacked men. In doing this, they have caused great suffering in this world. The world would be a better place if more men were real daddies. You see little girls need a daddy to be their first love, and little boys need a daddy to teach them how to be a man.
So, guys step up and be the Daddy your family needs. Give your life to Jesus. Cherish your wife and keep your vows. Read the Bible to your family and take them to church. Love God with all your heart because a man who loves God first loves his family best. You may not always know how to fix things. But if you lean on God, you can do the things a Daddy does.
