My father was a good father because…

My husband is a good father because…
 
My father was a good father because he once sat me on his lap and said, “just because your mother and I argue doesn’t mean we don’t love each other.”

My husband is a good father 'cause he is openly affectionate to me. One of our children is always saying, “Kiss, kiss, kiss!” while the other says, “Ewww!”, but we know they both love it.
 
My father was a good father because loves me and helps me and deals with my wierdness…

My husband is a good father because… (oops I don’t have one) 🙂

How about, “My husband is a good father because God is preparing him for me and our future children.”
 
My father has been a great role model of what a Catholic marriage, husband and father/grandfather should be.Praise God for good dads.

that’s a good idea. Thanks for the example of originality that I was lacking when I origionally posted.

My father was a good father because he knew when I needed him, and would quietly offer assistance/advice at always the “right” moment.

My husband is a good father because he is so involved with the kids: coaching their teams, sponsoring chess club/LEGO club at school, bringing them to “bring your kids to work day”, helping them with homework, bringing them hunting, teaching them how to do things patiently, being there without question if the kids need him…the list goes on:D
 
my step father is a good father because he has taught me many things and was always there for the important things. he makes me laugh and expects nothing less than perfection from me, which leads me to strive for it. he also accepts me and my sister and brother as his own children. i call him daddy, he calls me daughter.

my father is a good father because…well…hmmm…hes striving to be a better man and wants to be there for his children. all though he hasnt yet learned his boundaries, and cant admit his wrong doing and expects ultimate forgiveness even when its difficult. hes more of a buddy than a dad, but i love him very much and pray for him daily that he will mature and be a better man.

my husband WILL be a good father because, hes so much of a kid himself still. but still responsible as a man. hes loving, forgiving, funny and an absolute blast and will always be involved in their lives.
 
My father is a good father because he was faithful, and at the same time he was the kind of guy you’d want on your side if you walked through a dark alley.

I guess I have a hang up on this. For whatever reason, I was bombarded by images of faithfilled men being milquetoasts. Sadly the priests were the same way. I was afraid to pursue faith too far because I thought it somehow turned you into a eunich (of sorts).

Now that I look back, I should have focused on the modeling my own father did.

That’s what I always pray for my daughters, “Dear God prepare them to be good wives and mothers in the future and prepare their future husbands to be good husbands and fathers.” Then I go on to say, “But if Jesus is their future husband then just prepare my daughters to be good wives; Jesus will already be a good husband”.

That’s absolutely inspiring Black Jaque.
 
My father is a good father because he has a great sense of humor and is wise – I’m almost 40 and still call him up for advice on many things. Father really does know best. He’s everything you’d want in a father – patient, kind, understanding, firm, slow to make judgements or to assume the intentions of others, gives others the benefit of the doubt, admits wrongdoing, always aware that he is setting an example. May he live a long and happy life!
 
you know im really enjoying this thread. at the same time it makes me sad and a little envious of you all with these amazing fathers. i was blessed with an awesome step dad, 2 grandfathers that im convinced the world revolves around, the best brother anyone could ask for and a husband who is an absolute gift from God. but my father and i have barriers between us. i have little to no respect for him as a man and as a father. he gave me nothing to expect out of a husband as he himself cheated on my mother and his wife before that and the one before her and twice on the woman hes married to now. he takes little to no responsibility for his actions and mistakes the consequences on his kids, used us as pawns against my mother when we were growing up. had NOTHING to do with us until my step dad tried to adopt us and then he decided sending a check every month was good enough. he refuses to grow up and lives for his motorcycle. (im tempted to ram every parked Harley Davidson i come across) so for me fathers day is a little bitter sweet.sorry just a little vent there. i need some prayers yall. for forgiveness love and acceptance in my heart for my father.:crying:
 
My father knelt when he prayed every morning. I was more than fascinated by this. There was my big all powerful Dad praying on his knees to God the Father…Wow! He showed me how to pray. For this alone my father is good.

My husband is a good dad because he works hard to buy all the things the family needs. He never complains about all our shopping trips (as long as we don’t include him). He is also a very good repairman for all the things the kids and I break. He is a great dad because he is so loving and gentle.

Our prayers are definately with you TarAshly. Guess what! My Dad, who remained married to my Mom, was loud and verbally abusive and unfaithful to her. However, the one quote I posted above got me through all that. I saw him as good, almost perfect when I was little, felt betrayed by him when I found out the truth, felt sorry for him when he was so weak & dying that none of his previous bravado mattered. Now I insist on seeing the good because, even though it might not have been the most evident, it is what really mattered.

Thanks AServantofGod
Since we were very little, we were taught to say three Hail Marys for pruity every night… one for us, one for our future spouse, and one for our family and friends… similar… but I really like this idea. Thanks!

This is a beautiful suggestion. I will begin doing this with my kids tonight—thanks Laura.
 
Fashina, you and your family are an inspiration. We’ll also begin to pray in this manner.
 
My father is a good father because he always stands for his convictions, although not popular in mainstream society. Please pray for my dad, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer last week.

My husband is a good father because he much prefers to play with the kids than work!
