Thanks Dad, for teaching me to love the Lord and appreciate the beauty of His amazing creation! Happy Father’s Day!

Matthew 7:7-11 – ⁷ “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. ⁸ For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. ⁹ Or which one of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? ¹⁰ Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent? ¹¹ If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!

To all you fathers out there, give your children the greatest gift of all, be a father who loves and serves our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and teach them to do the same. Also, take the time to bring them outdoors and teach them to appreciate the beauty of God’s amazing creation.

Psalm 1:1-3 – Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; ² but his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. ³ He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.

Without Christ in our life we are like these leaves withering in the stream! Caesar Creek Gorge State Nature Preserve, Oregonia, Ohio.
