the best father’s day quotes and free printables

May 15, 2020 · In: marriage, motherhood, relationships

Looking for the best Father’s Day quotes? Read on!

I always tell people that I knew my husband would be a good father. But seeing it in action brought a whole new level of respect and admiration. 

There’s something about the gentleness of a grown man with a delicate newborn. And the pure joy of their interaction with the kids. Something about their own admiration for their little ones – the way they guide them, and the pride they have as they watch them grow. 

Father’s Day, like Mother’s Day, can come with a mix of emotions, depending on your relationships with your own fathers, the father of your children, or the men in your life who desire to be fathers. I respect that for sure, and if it’s a hard day for you, I hope you find comfort today. 

If you’re celebrating or remembering some amazing fathers that you know and love, here are some quotes about fatherhood to inspire and bring encouragement.  

The Mother’s Day quotes were a hit, so it only makes sense to salute the dads with some quotes just for them. Feel free to share these with the dads you know!

***

Anyone who tells you fatherhood is the greatest thing that can happen to you, they are understating it. – Mike Myers

When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant, I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much he had learned in seven years. – Mark Twain

The strongest, toughest men all have compassion. They’re not heartless and cold. You have to be man enough to have compassion – to care about people and about your children. – Denzel Washington

The nature of impending fatherhood is that you are doing something that you’re unqualified to do, and you become qualified while you do it. – John Green

Every son’s first superhero is his father, and it was the same for me. For me, he was Superman and Batman combined. – Tiger Shroff

Any fool can have a child. That doesn’t make you a father. It’s the courage to raise a child that makes you a father. – Barack Obama

Every father should remember one day his son will follow his example, not his advice. – Charles Kettering

I want to be remembered as, I hope, an amazing husband and a great father. – Jason Mamoa

It is a wise father that knows his own child. – William Shakespeare

Fathering is not something perfect men do, but something that perfects the man. – Frank Pittman

Daddies don’t just love their children every now and then. It’s a love without end, amen. – George Strait

But over time things changed. And what a relief it was to not have to forfeit peace to keep up the status quo, to learn how to have boundaries and cultivate integrity. To see the Bible as God’s story of reconciling with us. 

I’m happily in my healing, expanding faith era. If you’re here too, leave your favorite star sticker (emoji) below and come grab a seat so we can chat more.

Truly, re-examining, unraveling, and renovating my faith helped me get to livin’. 

If this post feels like I read your diary, please stick around! It’s been a busy summer, but I’m getting back to my writing routine and have so much to say about this journey.

And I really want you to hear this part: God is n And I really want you to hear this part:

God is not punitive like people can be.
And to take one verse out of context instead of lining it up with God’s character and heart for you is to miss the whole thing.

I just want you to know if that if the scriptures have felt (or been used) like weapons and your system has processed them that way—God isn’t demanding and disappointed like that. Not every verse is aimed at you or meant to be taken literally. 

Read in the context of who God is: compassionate, gracious, abounding in love and faithfulness. Read in the context of the whole Bible: God’s story of reconciliation and redemption and restoration of Creation. 

Maybe relax your shoulders, take a deep breath, and know you are loved and covered in grace.

This trend, but about what happens when you ditch This trend, but about what happens when you ditch performance and perfectionism for grace-filled growth.

This is not a to-do list, by the way. Not a resume or test or a title. (Not, “you are now proclaimed holy”.)

These are, I’ve found, holy experiences that get revealed as you take steps along this faith journey. This is what it looks like when you’re settling in to the transformation that happens when you lean in to the Spirit, follow Jesus, and get to know God better. A settling of the soul. 

What kinda holy experiences have you encountered on your own unique journey with God?

Not to be dramatic, but… Everything changed when Not to be dramatic, but…
Everything changed when I started:

viewing stories of women in the scriptures with care and respect instead of making assumptions.

reading the Bible as God’s story, not morality tales about people. 

recognizing that God cares about our wholeness and wellbeing, not perfect performance or self-improvement.

seeking depth and God’s withness over easy answers. 

Does this feel like I’m reading your mail? (I’m not.) Stick around. Here we talk about rebuilding your faith and theology and Bible study without shame and shrinking ❤️
