*Welcome To Father's Day Sunday At Amy's Place*

~What Makes a Dad~

God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle's flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so,
He called it ... Dad

This is for all of us who have lost our Dad's. It broke my heart the day cancer took him. Just as it did when it took my Mom. They were both smokers.

Good Morning

What a sweet, sad tribute. Thank you for sharing your
love for your dad.
Wishing you a blessed Lord's Day

Our Father In Heaven
June 17, 2012

When Jesus taught us to pray, He began, “Our Father in heaven” (Luke 11:2). It is one of many Scriptures that refers to God as a father. I find it both fascinating and instructive that when God wanted us to know what He is like, He chose to emphasize His fatherhood.

What do we know about God as our Father? According to Jesus’ prayer, we know that our Father in heaven is available and attentive to us. It is also clear that He provides for us. He forgives us and protects us from evil (vv.2-4).

What a wonderful pattern for fathers who aren’t in heaven! Granted, there is only one perfect Father in the universe, but as such He sets the pace for the rest of us less-than-perfect fathers. I discovered early in my ministry that my children were not impressed with books I wrote, titles I had, or places I spoke. They craved my time and attention, the provision for basic needs, a love that patiently forgave, and the creation of a safe place for them to grow and mature. It’s a short but very profound list of fatherly duties.

And what about those who didn’t get a dad who met those needs? Take heart in the fact that if you have been redeemed through Jesus you have a perfect heavenly Father—and He’s the best Father of all.

Thank You, God, for being our Father, Shepherd,
Guardian, and Guide. We will never outgrow our need
for Your love and care. We want to seek You
with all our heart that we might know You intimately.

The heavenly Father’s arms never tire of holding His children.

Read: Luke 11:1-13

Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name. —Luke 11:2

Bible in a Year:
Psalms 70-72

Daddy's Hands

I remember Daddy's hands folded silently in prayer,
And reaching out to hold me when I had a nightmare.

You could read quite a story in the calluses and lines.
Years of work and worry had left their mark behind.

I remember Daddy's hands, How they held my Mama tight,
And patted my back for something I'd done right.
There are things I've forgotten that I loved about that man,
But I'll always remember the love in Daddy's hands.

Daddy's hands, were soft and kind when I was crying.
Daddy's hands, were hard as steel when I'd done wrong.
Daddy's hands weren't always gentle,
But I've come to understand,
There was always love in Daddy's hands.

I remember Daddy's hands working till they bled,
Sacrificed unselfishly just to keep us all fed.
If I could do things over, I'd live my life again,
And never take for granted the love in Daddy's hands
~ Angel

I received the following message a few years ago from one of our daughters. It's printed on a small scroll and hangs on the wall above my computer desk...

This Is For You, Dad

This is for you, for the father I love,
for the one who has cared all these years,
but who has never heard enough
about how much I care.

This is for you, Dad.
For the one who has
helped me through all my childhood
fears and failures,
and turned all that he could
into successes and dreams.

If you never knew how much I admire you...
let me just say that I think
you're the best father any child ever had.

This is filled with love,
and it's all for you, Dad

~A. Rogers

Happy Fathers Day!
