One time a little boy was asked to define Father’s Day and he said, “Its just like Mother’s Day, only you don’t spend as much on the present.”

One time my kids wanted to surprise me with a good breakfast in bed on Father’s Day. They put a cot in the kitchen.

 A Prayer for Fathers

Mender of toys, leader of boys,

Changer of fuses, kisser of bruises,

Bless him, O Lord.

Mover of couches, soother of ouches,

Ponder of nails, teller of tales,

Reward him, O Lord.

Hanger of screens, counselor of teens,

Fixer of bikes, chastiser of tykes,

Help him, O Lord.

Raker of leaves, cleaner of eaves,

Dryer of dishes, fulfiller of wishes,

Bless him, O Lord.

FATHER’S DAY?

Are we looking for a special Tie, chosen by our children, something that represents their love for us or some aspect of our personality?

Do we want a new multifunction remote control that will operate every appliance in our house?

Do we want breakfast in bed or to go out to lunch?

May it is Sports illustrated Magazine or some tool?

What do dads really want for Fathers day?

Let’s think back to the scripture.

They want to know their children are doing well and are not suffering.

They want their children to be safe.

Thy want their cars to be running and their homes to have heating and cooling.

Dad’s want to help children when they have needs.

Dad’s want to be wise, to make the right decisions for their children.

This is what our heavenly father wants as well. He has the wisdom to let us learn the hard way, and the love to welcome us back anytime we goof up no matter how bad. He never sez I told you so.

As God’s children, we can never mess up to bad that he will not welcome us home.
