Happy Father's Day

Father's Day 2008 is Sunday, June 15.

Anyone can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a DADDY!
Happy Father's Day to all the Daddys in the World!!

Father's Day is a special day for everyone! We use this day to honor our fathers all over the world! We celebrate this holiday on the third Sunday in June. A woman named Sonora Smart Dodd from Spokane, Washington, thought of the idea for Father's Day while listening to a Mother's Day sermon in 1909. Her father, Henry Jackson Smart, had raised Sonora after her mother died and she wanted him to know how special he was to her. Her father was born in June, so she chose that month to celebrate the new holiday!


MY HERO

As I ponder the love that I saw in his eyes,A Godly love, given without compromise....
I recall many times that he stood by my side,And prodded me on with great vigor and pride.His voice ever confident, firm and yet fair,Always speaking with patience, tenderness and care.The power and might of his hands was so sure,I knew there was nothing we couldn't endure.It's true, a few others provided insight,Yet, he laid the foundation that kept me upright.He's the grandest of men to have lived on this earth,Although he's not royal by stature or birth.He's a man of great dignity, honor and strength.His merits are noble, and of admirable length.He's far greater than all other men that I know,He's my Dad, he's my mentor, my friend and hero.

Fathers are Wonderful People

Fathers are wonderful peopleToo little understood,And we do not sing their praisesAs often as we should...For, somehow, Father seems to beThe man who pays the bills,While Mother binds up little hurtsAnd nurses all our ills...And Father struggles dailyTo live up to "HIS IMAGE"As protector and providerAnd "hero or the scrimmage"...And perhaps that is the reasonWe sometimes get the notion,That Fathers are not subjectTo the thing we call emotion,But if you look inside Dad's heart,Where no one else can seeYou'll find he's sentimentalAnd as "soft" as he can be...But he's so busy every dayIn the grueling race of life,He leaves the sentimental stuff to his partner and his wife...But Fathers are just WONDERFUL in a million different ways,And they merit loving complimentsAnd accolade of praise,For the only reason Dad aspiresTo fortune and successIs to make the family proud of him And to bring them happiness...And like OUR HEAVENLY FATHER,He's a guardian and a guide,Someone that we can count onto be ALWAYS ON OUR SIDE.
