Fathers Day


A Daddy's Shoes

A daddy's job is to provide, to be a friend, counselor and guide. He dries the tears on little cheeks and mends broken toys and oils their squeaks. he's a trustworthy guide when the wrong road has been taken. He comforts the heart that feels like it's breaking. A daddy is more than just a mere man--a daddy fills shoes that no one else can. (Written by Fran Liles)
"He is like a Father to us, tender and sympathetic to those who reverence him " Psalms 103:13 (TLB)

This was on our Church bulletin and as I was reading it I thought of a few times Hubby was the best Dad of the day. One time when our girls were little and it was cold outside I came upon them playing in my perfume and powders making mud pies. My voice got very loud with anger and Hubby steeped in to take care of the punishment. Anotehr time was when Dad listened to our oldest daughter who was a senior in High School. Hubby was resting from an accident and our daughter came to Him and told Him she would not be going to college because the money would be used to pay hospital bills. Dad said to Her that if God and Purdue wanted Her to be there the money would be there and for Her not to worry about it any more. There have been many times during thoses years Dad did and said what needed to be said to His daughters and showed them how much He loved them.

I pray all Dad's had a great day
