Happy Father’s Day
Today is Father’s Day. I hope that you will have the opportunity to visit with and express your love and appreciation to your dad today. However if that’s not possible, be sure to thank God for your dad and all he did for you while you were growing up.
As fathers we have a tremendous blessing and responsibility as a result of the children God has placed within our hands. The blessing of children is wonderful. The responsibility of raising these children is challenging. We can’t do it alone. We must rely on God to help us. He will if we’ll simply reach out to Him for help. In striving to be the fathers God wants us to be, may we always remember:
- to pray to God for wisdom and guidance in raising our children. (James 1:5)
- that little eyes are watching and hearing everything we do and say. Therefore let us strive to follow Jesus’ example in our own lives and thus teach our children to follow Him as well. (1 Corinthians 11:1)
What a great Vacation Bible School we enjoyed together this past week! Attendance was great every night reaching a high of 141 on Wednesday night. Thank you so much to everyone who worked so hard in all aspects of VBS to make this the greatest VBS we’ve had in years! It is truly a joy to work with you and serve among you here at Leanna. Please remember in prayer this morning about 25 of our number who are returning today from a weekend of fellowship and fun at Holiday World in Indiana.
I hope and pray for you a very Happy Father’s Day. I also hope that we will all allow the Father in heaven above to help each of us to be the children of His that He wants us to be. Keep looking to Jesus this week striving to Imitate Him in 2010. God bless you. I love you.
