God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle's flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need...
Then God combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so, He called it ... "Dad" !


Thanks for being My Father ...
Father's Day is a day of commemoration and celebration of Dad a time for letting your Dad know how much you love him. Strengthen the ties that bind and make his day extra special with a message straight from your heart. It is a day to not only honor your father, but all men who have acted as a father figure in your life - whether as Stepfathers, Uncles, Grandfathers, or "Big Brothers."

President Calvin Coolidge proclaimed the third Sunday in June as Father's Day. Roses are the Father's Day flowers: red to be worn for a living father and white if the father has died.
Thanks for

When I was ...

* 4 years old ~ My daddy can do anything.

* 5 years old ~ My daddy knows a whole lot.

* 6 years old ~ My dad is smarter than your dad.

* 8 years old ~ My dad doesn't know exactly everything.

* 10 years old ~ In the olden days, when my dad grew up, things were sure different.

* 12 years old ~ Oh, well, naturally, Dad doesn't know anything about that. He is too old to remember his childhood.

* 14 years old ~ Don't pay any attention to my dad. He is so old-fashioned.

* 21 years old ~ Him? My Lord, he's hopelessly out of date.

* 25 years old ~ Dad knows about it, but then he should,
because he has been around so long.

* 30 years old ~ May be we should ask Dad what he thinks. After all, he's had a lot of experience.

* 35 years old ~ I'm not doing a single thing until I talk to Dad.

* 40 years old ~ I wonder how Dad would have handled it. He was so wise.

* 50 years old ~ I'd give anything if Dad were here now so I could talk this over with him. Too bad I didn't appreciate how smart he was. I could have learned a lot from him.
