| H.R. No. 2245 | ||
|
|
||
| WHEREAS, The observance of Father's Day on June 18, 2023, | ||
| provides a fitting opportunity to reflect on the essence of what it | ||
| means to be a father; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Today, we salute the men who devote themselves to | ||
| the well-being of their sons and daughters and who, in the process, | ||
| teach their children through their own actions, guidance, | ||
| forgiveness, compassion, and affection; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The first and most important decision a father makes | ||
| is the conscious choice to fulfill the multifaceted | ||
| responsibilities of his vital role in the family; he must both | ||
| nurture and discipline his children, provide for them, and also | ||
| serve as their teacher; above all, he strives to instill in his | ||
| children faith, enduring values, and a sure sense of right and | ||
| wrong; and | ||
| WHEREAS, A century ago, fathers worked at or near their | ||
| homes, and children passed a good deal of time in their company, | ||
| learning by example an appreciation for the rewards of hard work and | ||
| benefiting by their daily wisdom; currently, many parents are | ||
| employed some distance away from their homes, making it crucial for | ||
| fathers to reflect carefully on the precious hours they have to | ||
| devote to the upbringing of their children and on how they may best | ||
| help them flourish and become happy, productive citizens; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Being a father means accepting the solemn duty of | ||
| molding and shaping the next generation, and on Father's Day, we | ||
| honor those who have stepped forward and taken up this challenging | ||
| yet rewarding responsibility; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby commemorate Father's Day 2023 and honor the | ||
| caring men who have dedicated their lives to building strong | ||
| families and a bright future for those who follow in their | ||
| footsteps. | ||
