Dads are there to spoil and be spoilt
2007-06-07
“HONOUR your father and mother.”
This is the very first of the ancient Ten Commandments, which ends with the promise, if you honour your father and mother, “you will live a long and blessed life.”
Father's Day is celebrated throughout the world to do exactly this and to acknowledge the important role that a father plays in raising his children.
On this special day in June, children throughout the world allow their fathers to sit with their feet up, while they spoil them as much as possible.
For many children, fathers are a pillar of strength and inspiration.
They are their heroes and no matter what work they do, many children regard them as the masters of the universe.
