Two public people and my dad

[Diva Betsy Ross]

That is such a nice tribute to Dads everywhere. Thanks for the ping Ms. Amy!

Dads are so important-I am so thankful for an Awesome Dad and an awesome Dad for my children.

I hope you don't mind of I add a special remembrance for all the children who have a Dad far away and fighting for freedom.

May God hold those little ones close today- and let them know we are grateful that their Dad is a hero to us all.

Have a great day!

Dad's Hat

Read:
Ephesians 6:1-4

Honor your father. —Ephesians 6:2

Bible In One Year: 1 Kings 14-16

Amid the celebration, there was tragedy. It was the opening ceremonies of the 1992 summer Olympic Games in Barcelona. One by one the teams entered the stadium and paraded around the track to the cheers of 65,000 people. But in one section of Olympic Stadium, shock and sadness fell as Peter Karnaugh, father of United States swimmer Ron Karnaugh, was stricken with a fatal heart attack.

Five days later, Ron showed up for his race wearing his dad's hat, which he carefully set aside before his competition began. Why the hat? It was the swimmer's tribute to his dad, whom he described as "my best friend." The hat was one his dad had worn when they went fishing and did other things together. Wearing the hat was Ron's way of honoring his dad for standing beside him, encouraging him, and guiding him. When Ron dove into the water, he did so without his dad's presence but inspired by his memory.

On this Father's Day, there are many ways to honor our fathers, as Scripture tells us to do (Ephesians 6:2). One way, even if they're no longer with us, is to show respect for the values they taught us.

What can you do for your dad today to show him the kind of honor the Bible talks about? —Dave Branon

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

The best fathers not only give us life—they teach us how to live.

This is scubachick's husband (and my nephew), with his little girl. He is currently on TAD in Iraq and this is his first Father's Day. I hope he knows how much we appreciate him and all the dads who are far from home selflessly serving their country, especially on Father's Day.

I am also thinking of all the fathers whose sons and daughters are serving far from home and not able to be with them today. God Bless them all!

Happy Father's Day to all dads everywhere!

[Diva Betsy Ross]

SO true Mama bear. That is a very nice graphic for the Dads. My thoughts are with them.

Happy Father's Day to all Dads.
