Father's Day in South Africa
The Revival Center’s mission team will be in South Africa for Father’s Day this year. We thought it would be interesting to know how it will be observed over there!
Like many countries around the world, people in South Africa do not miss the opportunity to honor fathers by celebrating Father's Day. In South Africa too, Fathers Day is celebrated on the third Sunday of June. Marking the beautiful occasion, people express love and affection for their father and thank them for their great support and guidance. As a tradition, children also pamper their father or men like father by presenting loveable gifts like cards, flowers, gourmet gifts, neckties or other any other present their father love to receive.
As Father's Day is celebrated on a Sunday, people get all the opportunity to enjoy the occasion with the family. Many people in South Africa go out for picnic, fishing or just for a meal in restaurant. Apart from private celebrations, several social and cultural societies in South Africa host Father's Day celebration to stress on the important role played by fathers in nurturing children and building stronger society.
Happy Father’s Day!
Any fool can be a Father, but it takes a real man to be a Daddy!!
Philip Whitmore, Sr.
The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother.

My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person, he believed in me.
Jim Valvano
He didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it.
Clarence Budington Kelland
My father used to play with my brother and me in the yard. Mother would come out and say, "You're tearing up the grass." "We're not raising grass," Dad would reply. "We're raising boys." Harmon Killebrew
A father carries pictures where his money used to be.

When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much he had learned in seven years.
Mark Twain, "Old Times on the Mississippi" Atlantic Monthly, 1874
Spread the diaper in the position of the diamond with you at bat. Then fold second base down to home and set the baby on the pitcher's mound. Put first base and third together, bring up home plate and pin the three together. Of course, in case of rain, you gotta call the game and start all over again.
Jimmy Piersal, on how to diaper a baby, 1968
Don't make a baby if you can't be a father.
National Urban League Slogan
By the time a man realizes that maybe his father was right, he usually has a son who thinks he's wrong.
Charles Wadworth
Small boys become big men through the influence of big men who care about small boys.
Unknown
One night a father overheard his son pray: Dear God, Make me the kind of man my Daddy is. Later that night, the Father prayed, Dear God, Make me the kind of man my son wants me to be.
Unknown
I talk and talk and talk, and I haven't taught people in 50 years what my father taught by example in one week.
Mario Cuomo
"Train up a child in the way which he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it"
Proverbs 22:6
