What Makes A Dad
The faith of a mustard
seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family’s
need.
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
eagle’s flight,
Jesus and Joseph
Then
God
combined
these qualities;
When there was nothing
more to add,
He knew His masterpiece
was complete,
And so, He called it—
Dad.

The joy of a morning in spring,
As a father is kind to his children, So the Lord is kind
to those who honor Him.

Prayer
Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands
in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in
the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a
tree planted by streams of water, that yields its fruit in its season, and its
leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.
