Fathers Day!!!

Happy Father’s Day! 

My husband received a card that read “Do you know why Father’s Day is in June?”  Inside it read “because about a month after Mother’s Day someone said “hey wait a minute”.  That was very cute and it made him smile. 

It is nice to have a special day set aside to let our mothers and fathers know what they mean to us.  I know I don’t always show how much I love them so it gives me an opportunity to express my deep gratitude for their love and sacrifices through the years for me. 

Sacrifices are part of being a parent but the greatest sacrifice of all was when our Heavenly Father allowed His only Son, His perfect, sinless Son to be hung on a cross for us.  Although we will never know the depth of His  pain because of His ultimate sacrifice we do know the depth of His love. 

I hope that as you celebrate your father this year that you will remember our Heavenly Father, too.  Remember to thank Him for His gift of life through the death and resurrection of His Son Jesus Christ.

Scripture

Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you.    Exodus 20:12

For God so love the world that He gave His only begotten Son so that who so ever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.   John 3:16
