Happy Father's Day to all the Finest Dads!!!!
Sonora Dodd, of Washington, first had the idea of a "father's day." She thought of the idea for Father's Day while listening to a Mother's Day sermon in 1909.
Sonora wanted a special day to honor her father, William Smart. Smart, who was a Civil War veteran, was widowed when his wife died while giving birth to their sixth child. Mr. Smart was left to raise the newborn and his other five children by himself on a rural farm in eastern Washington state.
After Sonora became an adult she realized the selflessness her fatherhad shown in raising his children as a single parent. It was her father that made all the parental sacrifices and was, in the eyes of his daughter, a courageous, selfless, and loving man. Sonora's father was born in June, so she chose to hold the first Father's Day celebration in Spokane, Washington on the 19th of June, 1910.
President Calvin Coolidge, in 1924, supported the idea of a national Father's Day. Then in 1966 President Lyndon Johnson signed a presidential proclamation declaring the 3rd Sunday of June as Father's Day.
Here is a pix of my mom & dad before I was born. They were in their twenties..(aren't they a BEAUTIFUL couple?) Mom is still living an an ivalid at this point. Dad died December 1990. He introduced me to the joys of outdoor zest & vitality. picking berries, long hikes, swimming, biking, and being a sport PARTICIPANT. Miss you dad....

Happy Father's Day all, have a great day. Dolly inspired me to post a picture of my dear Dad and Mom, this picture is when they were in their 20's in Astoria, N.Y. My folks are now in heaven, celebrating Father's day, love them and miss them. Going to a barbecue today at my sister's, enjoy your day, all.
Billie, hope you don't mind, I borrowed a couple of your graphics and used a couple I found, still learning :-)

Dad's Hat
Honor your father. Ephesians 6:2
|
Amid the celebration, there was tragedy. It was the opening ceremonies of the 1992 summer Olympic Games in Barcelona. One by one the teams entered the stadium and paraded around the track to the cheers of 65,000 people. But in one section of Olympic Stadium, shock and sadness fell as Peter Karnaugh, father of United States swimmer Ron Karnaugh, was stricken with a fatal heart attack. Five days later, Ron showed up for his race wearing his dad's hat, which he carefully set aside before his competition began. Why the hat? It was the swimmer's tribute to his dad, whom he described as "my best friend." The hat was one his dad had worn when they went fishing and did other things together. Wearing the hat was Ron's way of honoring his dad for standing beside him, encouraging him, and guiding him. When Ron dove into the water, he did so without his dad's presence but inspired by his memory. On this Father's Day, there are many ways to honor our fathers, as Scripture tells us to do (Ephesians 6:2). One way, even if they're no longer with us, is to show respect for the values they taught us. What can you do for your dad today to show him the kind of honor the Bible talks about? Dave Branon
We're thankful for our fathers, Lord, They're special gifts from You; Help us to show we honor them By what we say and do. Sper
The best fathers not only give us lifethey teach us how to live.
