Father’s Day

His hand may have a roughness to the touch,
But when gently placed upon his child it means so much.
His word in the home is final – as it should be,
But oh how wonderful when it is the Word of God he speaks.
His footsteps are large and wide it is true,
But they are the example for his children too.
As he travels forward and when he looks back,
And as he observes his children walking in his tracks;
The father wise admits he has made mistakes,
And asks his heavenly Father’s help to the right path take.
Also remember your Heavenly Father above.
As you celebrate the earthly father you love.
You may give cards, gifts and prepare a feast for them,
But like our Heavenly Father above he most desires appreciation.

Deuteronomy 5:16
Honour thy father and thy mother, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

Father… The Role Model By Brenda Drake

To the little girl daddy is her protector; no one stands quite as tall as he.
To the young man he a role model to follow; what he one day wants to be.
His dad is his hero in every way,
He notes everything he does and everything he says.
The wise father will instill in his children’s lives,
They must follow him only as he follows Christ.
Jesus was the perfect image of His Father above.
He lived and died to show His Father’s love.
His words were life; they still show His Father’s will.
Earthly fathers have the opportunity to speak His Word still.
Little girls will one day seek to find a loving place,
For her own children to also feel special and safe.
Dads are special, with great responsibility for you see,
With a good role model to follow little boys become the one
They want their little girl to meet.

John 12:26
If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be:
if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.

            Happy Father’s Day!  I think it is a wonderful thing to honor all daddies’ out there.  It is wise to take time to understand how much he has done to try to make our life better.  

A Father’s Heart

A father yearns to express love for daughter or son.
But sometimes when the day is done,
He wonders did he get his message through,
Even though he did all he could do?
To communicate his good intentions he tried.
His words he meant to encourage and edify.
Oh how he desires to take away unneeded pain.
He would fight to break their child’s every chain.
Fathers’ hearts are softer than you at first can see.
But this is just as our Father in heaven planned it to be.
For He too loves His children so, so much;
Always He strives to show us His love.
His Word is designed to His intentions share.
He sent Jesus, His Son to show just how much He cares.
The Father’s heart was pained when His only Son,
Died to save the lost …each and every one.
Jesus took upon Himself our every sin and pain,
He died and rose again to break our every chain.
He is the One that till this day will our battle fight.
Our heavenly Father’s heart is filled with love; in the redeemed He delights.

John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
