A FATHER’S DAY PRAYER

Lord, thank you for fathers and their special place in the life of the family.  Grant that the fathers of our church and our nation shall learn and accept the unique role you have given to them.  Give them the spiritual discernment to lead their children to know God as Father through faith in Thee.  We pray that fathers will have the wisdom to express your truth in such a way that their home will be a heaven on earth because you are in it.  Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

PORTRAIT OF A FATHER

A father’s voice is good for calling kids home for supper, reading the part of Papa Bear, Laying down the law, fussing about the budget, and for saying “I Love You.” to Mother.
 
A father’s arms are  good for throwing footballs, baiting fishhooks, repairing vacuum cleaners, swatting the dog with a newspaper, waxing the car, helping a neighbor, opening ketchup jars, moving the furniture, and hugging his children.
 
Fathers drive cars, trucks, airplanes, lawnmowers, bowling balls, golf clubs and their wives crazy by watching sports on TV.
 
A father likes to growl sometimes about inflation, missing buttons, cereal on his chair, bicycle in the driveway, the town council, fancy casseroles, the empty gas tank, and candlelight dinners.  But his growl is usually worse than his bite.
 
A father likes steak, roast beef, anything that goes ‘varoom,’ wrestling with his son, the end of violin lessons, wilderness vacations, and the dress that Mother wore on her honeymoon.
 
The best time for Father is when, returning home from an outing, some member of the family says, “That was a super day, Dad.  Thanks for taking us.”
 
Being a father is a wonderful experience.  Being a good father is an even greater joy.  But being a Christian father who honors God by the way he cares for his family is the greatest joy of all.
