Dad in a Million

When God was making Fathers
As far as I can see,
He spent a lot of time on one
And saved that one for me.

He made a perfect gentleman
Compassionate and kind,
With more patience and affection
Than you could hope to find.

He gave this special person
A heart of solid gold,
And after God had finished
He must have broken the mould.

Bless You

I do not know your name-
Nor for which battle you died.
I do not know your home,
Nor the tears that were cried.

I do not know where you rest-
Nor the promises broken.
I do not know your uniform
And your fears lay unspoken.

But, I know your spirit exists-
That your courage is admired,
And your sacrifice is honored
By each soul that’s inspired.

And I offer you from my heart
Thank you, to guardians unknown
For offering yourselves for us all
That we may keep freedom…
Our home.

Christian Prayer for Fathers Day

Loving God,
We thank you for the gift of good dads,
and everything that they do for us.
Help them to have
patience when we’re difficult,
wisdom when we can’t see the way,
strength when we need comforting,
and love at all times,
so that, through them,
we get a little glimpse of how you feel about us,
our heavenly Father
Amen.

What Makes a Dad

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 in 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
