Thank You Dads!!!!!

Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there. Today is your day, the one day out of the year when people pull you aside and congratulate you for having kids. Your friend at work wishes you well; that guy you eat lunch with does the same. Your wife tells you how glad she is that you're a dad, and your kids give you an extra hug and tell you that they'll never want any other dad but you. So on Father's Day you go to bed beaming, knowing you're doing a good job as a parent because everyone told you so. And you are a great dad and that's what everyone says.

But Father's Day is also a day to thank dads for everything they've done without thanks. Thank you, dads, for all you've done! Every sports event you sat through, all the scraped and bruised knees you patched up, running behind us for hours after we took the training wheels off our bikes. Thank you for every encouragement you ever gave us, thank you for the kind corrections, thank you for never letting us quit when things got hard. Thank you, dads, for all the love you give your children through thick and thin, for every nap on your shoulder, and every toss that made us fly into the air. Thank you for giving us the courage to follow our dreams. Thank you for always being there, and thank you for being a dad. 

As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him. 
Psalm 103:13
