Blessed indeed is the man who hears many gentle voices call him father! -- L.M.Child A good father is one of the most unsung, unpraised, unnoticed, and yet one of the most valuable assets in our society. ~ Billy Graham It is much easier to become a father than to be one. ~ K.Nerburn
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 eagles flight, The joy of a morning in spring, The faith of a mustard seed, The patience of eternity, The depth of a family need, The God combined these qualities, And then there was nothing more to add, He knew His masterpiece was complete, And so, He called it -- Dad. -- Anonymous
A Special Father A special father, in God’s eyes, is one who lives to see... that all his children love the Lord, and act accordingly. It doesn't matter who he is, or the money that he’s earned... God cares about a father’s heart, and the godly things he’s learned. So, Fathers, teach your children, to find joy in simple things... in reverence to God’s blessings and the happiness He brings. And when they have their children, they’ll raise them just like you... to love and praise God daily, the way you taught them to. -- Jill Lemming.
Daddy's Hand I remember daddy's hands folded silently in prayer And reachin' out to hold me, when I had a nightmare You could read quite a story in the callous' 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 done right There are things that I'd forgotten that I loved about the man But I'll always remember the love in daddy's hands Daddy's hands were soft and kind when I was cryin' 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 workin' 'til they bled Sacrifised 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 -- Holly Dunn
