I section got for two collars.

Speaker 1 (01:11):
You guys are great fathers. I look up to you
as fathers. We need our fathers. Everybody needs a dad, everybody.
I didn't have a dad growing up, but I had
great role models, and I think you guys are wonderful dads.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
And a father and a dad is two different. That's fine.

Speaker 1 (01:34):

But what I meant is you had a father because but.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
When I was one, Yeah, yeah, he may oh.

Speaker 3 (02:02):
Yeah, that's always said. Anybody can be a father. Takes
a special person to be a dad. That's pretty much
my clothes remarks today. Is this a Father's Day approaching?

Speaker 2 (02:13):
Listen.

Speaker 3 (02:14):
I understand the significance of Father's Day. I understand that
it will always and forever pale in comparison to Mother's Day.
And I got it and deservedly so. There is nothing
like a mother. They come one, you get one, you

(02:34):
get one mother. Mother's a special Every mother has provided
life to someone on this planet. So I get that
Father's Day isn't the size of Mother's Day. But I
want to take some time out to talk to the
dad's out there and the father's. If you have fathered

(02:57):
a child, it is your duty, your moral obligation, and
should be your honor to support, nurture and provide for
that child.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
It's your job.

Speaker 3 (03:11):
You are not forgiven because you fell on hard times.
You are not forgiven because it didn't work out between
you and the woman. You are not forgiven because she's
making it difficult for you to get there. You don't
get forgiven for that. I know, I know, I know.
You can't use that one. You have got to get

(03:33):
to that child some way. That's your job.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
Now.

Speaker 3 (03:38):
For the dads out there who are doing their duty
as fathers, thank you. Your role in the child's life
is so very important. I got two hundred and fifty
boys on my ranch right now. We were talking about
being fathers. The last night. Last night when they got
here and they were just sitting there, their room was

(04:01):
pindrop quiet because they are all missing that man, and
they are all longing and yearning for him, because these
boys had a point in their life, man, where they
need a male role model. They need some guidance. They
got so many questions that their mama can't answer. So
for you men out there as being dads, that's showing

(04:21):
up at school functions, that's paying your child support, that's
picking your child up, that's calling them, that's writing them
letters from your jail cells.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
Wherever you are.

Speaker 3 (04:33):
If you are doing all that you can and the
best you can, thank you man. Keep doing what you're doing.
If you sitting in jail and you can write a
letter to your child and tell them don't make the
same mistakes you made and that's the best you got,
then do the best you can and they appreciate it.
If you live in a long relationship and you can
get on that phone at least three times a week

(04:55):
and talk to your child, then do that, man, and look,
long distance don't cost money no more. It's the same
phone call. Call your children. Be active. For those of
you that are. Thank you man. You have no idea
to impact you're having on this child's life. Because you
are creating memories for them. You're creating stories for them
to tell. But the most valuable thing is you're creating

(05:18):
lessons for them to hold on to. I can't tell
you how many times I've remembered something my father said
to me, and even though I was young at the time,
I didn't quite get it. I can't tell you how
many times I played it back in my head and
I discovered it was one of the most brilliant men
I ever knew with one of his He had a
third grade education, man, but that was it. This dude
right here had a hustle and a grind, and he

(05:41):
taught it to me.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
He has some real strong philosophies. Man.

Speaker 3 (05:46):
But I really really thank God for having a father
in my life who was my dad. For all of
you men in that have stepped into a woman's life
and played the role of dad, For those fathers who
have walked away from their responsibility, Hands off to you man,
hands up, hand clapped. They'll have a special day for stepfathers.
I don't even call them stepfathers. I just call them

(06:08):
dads who then stepped into a woman's life and feel
the role of some man that done walked off and
ignored those children. Thank you, man for standing up, for
showing up, for being important for being significant to all
your fathers out there. I know it's like being a
I don't know what it is to be a mother,
but single mothers are having your heart out here, and

(06:29):
it's such a thankless job. But dads don't get us
near enough credit. They just don't. And on his Father's Day,
I want to give you some appreciate you man, because
you're doing what you're supposed to do. I really appreciate
those that took on the duty because you realize it
is your duty and your obligation, but it's also your honor.

(06:50):
It is my honor to be a father and I
will hold on to that as long as God keep
me here.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
Happy Fathers Day. Brothers, keep on doing what you're doing.

Speaker 3 (06:59):
And if you haven't talk to your child in a while,
pick up the phone, make make amends, start apologizing, beat
a bigger man, have a relationship with your child. Those
are my closes remarks today. Y'all have a good one. Okay,
talk to God. He'd love to hear from your Peace

(07:23):
for all.
