Today Someone...Happy Father's Day


May the LORD our God be with us as he was with our fathers; may he never leave us nor forsake us.

But if you have come to betray me to my enemies when my hands are free from violence, may the God of our fathers see it and judge you."

"O our God, the great, mighty and awesome God, who keeps his covenant of love...

Have we not all one Father ? Did not one God create us?

We call God our Father.
This Father's Day let us remember to praise and thank God for treating us as His children.
He has always seen to all our needs as a loving Father.
We often fall short of God's expectations,
but like a gentle Father He guides us on the right path.

Matthew 6: 9-13
"This, then, is how you should pray: "
'Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.'

We call our father's Dad.
This Father's Day let us show our Dads how much we love them.
Let us thank them for their support and guidance in our lives.


Dear Lord,

Father's are a lot of fun,
Keeping their children on the run.
Always finding something for them to do,
Teaching them to discover things that are new.

As children get older, Dad's tactics change,
He shows them how their life to arrange.
Independence is what they must learn,
So they can cope with life's every turn.

Then they are ready to flee the nest,
Dad is proud, they've turned out the best.
But he's just a phone call away,
To give advice, and he's there to pray.

He will always love his little ones,
His grown up daughters and his sons.
God blessed him with these special gifts,
Many a time his memory to them drifts.

Even when Dad's hair begins to grey,
His children listen to what he has to say.
Wisdom over the years he has learned,
Respect from his children he has earned.

Remember your Dad this Father's Day,
Young or old, we all should say,
"Dad I love you, and thank you for being you!
I'll be praying for you in all that you do!"
