A DIFFICULT DAY FOR MANY

Sunday will be Father's day
a special day set aside to honor our fathers

It will a difficult day for many of us
My father and my silver haired honey both are in heaven

My son lives in another city
His son is in heaven too for almost seven years in July

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We will put fresh flowers on their graves
Spending time thinking of the happy times we all shared

As a Christian I know they are in Heaven
sitting at a banquet with our Lord Jesus

This knowledge makes it easier
to get through these difficult  holidays

Hopefully as the years go by
it will get less painful

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For now I will say thank you to my dad
Thank you for the years of love and care you gave us

Thank you Dad for taking care of me and for
your love and guidance in my formative years

so much I just took for granted
without thinking of the hard work you did for us

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thank you my silver haired honey for loving me
For providing for us through the lean years and the years of plenty

Thank you for the wonderful children we have together
I look at them and I see you

They look like you all having eyes of blue like you  
They have the same noble character you had too

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You are so missed everyday
 but especially on this Father's day
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My heart aches for my friends
who too have lost a love one

Doris and Sandy and Janet  - my list is long
These are only the three I will name today

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I will close by saying Happy Father's day
I pray you will have a blessed day

Hold your love ones close to you each day
I will take out my memories and visit them

Psalm 103:13

Just as a father has compassion on his children,
So the LORD has compassion on those who fear Him.

It is for discipline that you endure; God deals with you as with sons;
for what son is there whom his father does not discipline?

Proverbs 3:11-12

My son, do not reject the discipline of the LORD, Or loathe His reproof,
For whom the LORD loves He reproves,
Even as a father, the son in whom he delights.

Listen to your father, who gave you life,
and do not despise your mother when she is old.

The father of the righteous will greatly rejoice,
And he who begets a wise son will be glad in him.

Billy Graham, Christian Evangelist

"A good father is one of the most unsung, unpraised, unnoticed,
and yet one of the most valuable assets in our society."
