A Father's Love -
In honor of Father's Day 2016

He puts God first.
He cares enough to
want and expect the best of his kids.
He is soft-hearted and open to the
tender moments of life.
He sets an example of working hard, earning his
hire and wages.
He is well versed in the classics of economics,
politics, religion, and civic duties and wants his kids to be and do the same.
He learns from the mistakes of his own father and works to do better; he expects
his son to do better than he did if God allows him to be a father.
He
lets his daughters know that they are highly loved, highly favored and worthy of
the best care from others.
He knows how to enjoy life and recreate and
he does that with his kids and family.
He knows that sacrifice is the
calling of all fathers and much is required of those who have been given
much.
He loves animals.
He is a warrior who can defend his
family on a moment's notice and he can look evil in the eye and not flinch.
He believes in grace and mercy and tries to share those always.
He is not
afraid to stop and help the stranded driver on the Interstate highway knowing
that it could be him one day on that road.
He values tried and true
traditions but he also moves with times.
He is a patriotic and knows
that Freedom is never free and someone paid the price for his freedom which is cherished with reverence.
He shares his heart and wisdom with
younger fathers who need guidance and help as they grow into fatherhood.
He knows the true Father: The God of light and love who does not change and the One who is
full of justice, love, grace and mercy.
Happy Father's Day Dad.
