("Pray To Receive Christ")

-- 2 Corinthians 6:18
And I will be a Father to you, and you shall be My sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.

-- Galatians 3:26
For in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through Faith.

-- Romans 8:14-16
14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. 15 For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received a spirit of adoption. When we cry, "Abba! Father!" 16 it is that very Spirit bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of God,

-- Proverb 23:22
Listen to your father, who gave you life,
and do not despise your mother when she is old.




The Greatest Father of All

The Greatest Father ever was
Dwells in the heavens, up above.
He gave us His only begotten Son,
Who paid sin's price for everyone.

You know, it had to cause God grief;
As His Son suffered beyond belief.
But, God knew that His Son's sacrifice
Would bring us all eternal life.

He felt the pain His son went through;
Was worth it all, for me and you.
And, even Jesus didn't count the cost,
As His Life's Blood drained from that old cross.

So, let's all wish our Heavenly Father
A Happy Father's Day
And thank Him for His great sacrifice,
As we bow our heads to pray.

Happy Father's Day!

To the Greatest Father of all

-- Vickie Lambdin

-- John 3:16-17
16 For God so loved the world that He Gave His One and Only Son, that whoever Believes in Him shall not perish but have Eternal Life. 17 For God did not Send His Son into the world to Condemn the world, but to Save the world Through Him.




Dads

Delightful and loving,
Loved and admired,
Dad, you're my hero,
My life you've inspired.

And when all my blessings
Are counted each day,
I thank God in heaven
For Dad when I pray.

Dad thanks for your presence
Throughout thick and thin;
You're more than a parent,
You're my wonderful friend.

~ Ken Brown



Dad, I Love You

Walk a little slower, Daddy,
Said a little child so small.
I'm following in your footsteps
And I don't want to fall.

Sometimes your steps are very fast,
Sometimes they are hard to see;
So, walk a little slower, Daddy,
For you are leading me.

Someday when I'm all grown up,
You're what I want to be;
Then I will have a little child
Who'll want to follow me.

And I would want to lead just right,
And know that I was true;
So walk a little slower, Daddy,
For I must follow you.

Did I ever say thanks
for all the toys you mended,
games we played,
outings to the park,
and the way you
always tried to cheer
me when I was down?

Did I ever say thanks for
the sacrifices you made
so I could be involved
in so many enriching
activities?

Did I ever say thanks for
working so hard
to provide for our family?

Did I ever say thanks
for having such faith in me
and always being there
when I needed you?

Most of all,
Did I ever say thanks for caring?

Dad, I Love You

-- Proverbs 22:6
Teach your children to choose the right path,
and when they are older, they will remain upon it.




What Is A Dad?

A dad is someone who
wants to catch you before you fall
but instead picks you up,
brushes you off,
and lets you try again.

A dad is someone who
wants to keep you from making mistakes
but instead lets you find your own way,
even though his heart breaks in silence
when you get hurt.

A dad is someone who
holds you when you cry,
scolds you when you break the rules,
shines with pride when you succeed,
and has faith in you even when you fail...

Dad, you're everything a dad should be and some.

-- Susan Ceylise



Fathers seldom say "I love you"
Though the feeling's always there,
But somehow those three little words
Are the hardest ones to share.

And fathers say "I love you"
In ways that words can't match -
With tender bedtime stories -
Or a friendly game of catch!

You can see the words "I love you"
In a father's boyish eyes
When he runs home, all excited,
With a poorly wrapped surprise.

A father says "I love you"
With his strong helping hands -
With a smile when you're in trouble
With the way he understands.

He says "I love you" haltingly,
With awkward tenderness -
(It's hard to help a four-year-old into a party dress!)
He speaks his love unselfishly

By giving all he can
To make some secret dream come true,
Or follow through a plan.
A father's seldom-spoken love

Sounds clearly through the years -
Sometimes in peals of laughter,
Sometimes through happy tears.

Perhaps they have to speak their love
In a fashion all their own.
Because the love that fathers feel
Is too big for words alone!

Father And Son Conversation

A father was having trouble getting his son to cut his long hair.
When the boy asked to borrow the family car.

The father said, "You may borrow the car when you cut your hair."

Later that same evening the father passed by the son's room where he was stretched out on the bed reading the Bible.

He said, "Dad, did you know it says here that Jesus never cut his hair?"

His dad said, "Yes, son, and if you read further, you notice it says he walked everywhere he went."



-- John 15:9-11
9 As the Father has loved Me, so have I loved you. Now remain in My love. 10 If you obey My commands, you will remain in My love, just as I have obeyed My Father’s commands and remain in His love. 11 I have told you this so that My joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.
