Your dad, on Father’s Day, probably wants very little from you. It’s likely he will be satisfied with a simple card, a brief note, and the words “thank you, I love you.”
The real gift you’re offering to your dad on Father’s Day is if you are living well, loving deeply, using your skills, your talents for the good of all.
That’s the gift he’s really looking for.
He’s not looking for you to give him something; he wants you to give the world something.
Offer the world about you your integrity, and you’re giving your dad a gift. Give to the poor, the lonely, comfort the mourning, put your arm over the shoulder of your own son or daughter, and you’re giving your dad an invaluable gift.
Your dad is probably not looking for what you can do for him; he’s looking at how you’re living amongst others.
That’s the real gift for Father’s Day. It’s not the cufflinks, or the new tie, or another pair of comfortable socks, as wonderful as those things might be.
Your dad is looking for how you are living your life to its full potential.
That’s the gift he really wants.
