"What Encourages Dad?" Today's Father's Day message attempts to answer that question with four practical points. First, keep the relationship alive. Be the initiator of calls and texts, give him your time, and eat food together. Second, live a productive life with integrity and discipline and control your anger. Third, allow him to be your dad by listening to him, asking him for advice, and thanking him for being your dad. And lastly, show him that you love him with affection, be interested in him, and remember the things that he taught you.
