CoT: Thoughts on Fatherhood When You Feel Like a Failure
1. Recognize that “perfect” is a myth.
2. Be wisely transparent. It’s good to admit mistakes and apologize as a masculine father.
3. Beware of self-pity. Self-pity adopts a posture of helpless self-indulgence. Part of successful fathering is having “other-focus,” a mentality that intentionally leverages “my strength and resources for your benefit.” Beware of excessive self-absorption and self-pity that robs us of the outward expression of love.
4. Watch where you get your identity. Are you worried about them or what others think (or would think) about this situation? Seek their betterment.
5. Move toward your kids. You just have to hug your kids, stay curious about their lives, and strike up a conversation rather than retreating into fearful silence. Children need their dads regardless of what Dad is feeling about himself on the inside.

COT: Dedication to my Grandfather – Joseph Vant – his commitment to community service as founding member of a town fire company and fire chief, superintendent of highways; raised his 4 siblings after the loss of his parents by 17; raised a family of 8; also ran a successful dairy farm and provided over 4 boys from broken homes a family and safe environment to live in. A man of his word and one of my inspirations for staying centered and serving my community. He was also clear in saying what he was going to do and followed through on his comittments. F3 represents so many of the qualities I saw in my grandfather and I am grateful for the group. Closed with a prayer – it was a beautiful morning!

WORDS OF WISDOM

“No one can travel so far that he does not make some progress each day. So let us never give up. Then we shall move forward daily in the Lord’s way. And let us never despair because of our limited success. Even though it is so much less than we would like, our labour is not wasted when today is better than yesterday!” ― John Calvin
