In the US, more long distance calls are made on Mother’s Day than any other day. But on Father’s Day, the most collect calls are made. It seems that children still depend on their fathers to provide, even when they are far away from home.

Fathers are needed and wanted for much more than financial help. While 1 Thessalonians 2:10-12 is primarily directed toward church leaders, Paul talks about how their role is similar to a father’s. He states: “You know how we exhorted, and comforted, and charged every one of you, as a father does his own children.”

Exhorted is “to call near.” It is easy for fathers to think that all that’s required of them is to bring home a paycheck. But children need their close encouragement.

The word comforted is “to console.” Nothing is more valuable to a child than the time given by a father to listen and talk. Without constant relating, relationships turn cold.

Charged is “to affirm.” Fathers challenge their children by affirming the truth of God’s Word as they live it out in front of them. And even in failings, they affirm what is right through the asking of forgiveness.

How thankful we can be for fathers who help their children “walk worthy of God” (v.12).

We’re thankful for our fathers, Lord,
They’re special gifts from You;
Help us to show we honor them
By what we say and do. —Sper

Good fathers reflect the heavenly Father.

Read: 1 Thess. 2:1-12

We exhorted, and comforted, and charged every one of you, as a father does his own children. —1 Thess. 2:11

Bible in a year:
Esther 1-2; Acts 5:1-21

REST IN PEACE, FALLEN BROTHER!

Cpt. Michael P. Cassidy, USA, KIA Afghanistan 17JUN2010

I have fought a good fight,
I have finished my course,
I have kept the faith.
2 Timothy 4:7 (KJV)

God Of Our Fathers



Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in peace!
We who remain hold you in high honor.
Rest, fallen brother, in this sacred precinct;
We who remain keep this place sacred.
Rest, fallen brother, among these, your comrades;
We who remain keep the watch.
Rest, fallen brother, among these who answered the Nation’s call;
We who remain press the fight forward in your name.
Rest, fallen brother, lay down thy burden;
We who remain have taken up the torch.
Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in eternal peace!

Oh sweet sweet Jaycee! Your post made me cry!
I know my sister lost her hubby last year and is having a hard time today.
A extra big HUG to you..
Polly

[pollywog]

Yorkie dear!
I just had to chuckle.
I honestly did not copy your “ sweet sweet” in Jaycee’s post right under this. I hadn’t even read yours yet!
Must think alike.
Hope you had a good day!

Polly

[jaycee]

Well I didn’t mean to make you cry, Polly!
Hope you had a nice day today.
God Bless your sister. That first couple of
years are pretty hard, but it gets a little
easier as time goes by. We always miss them
though! ((((Hugs))))
