MAY YOU ALL ENJOY YOUR SPECIAL DAY!

It’s the last day of the weekend again. The day I get Renewed and Refreshed again for another work week. I’m off to church this morning and will be praying for all of you

Pray for the continued protection of each member of our military, and pray that those seeking to recover from injury will be encouraged by the support of a grateful nation as they heal.

Pray for each home doing without a father this week due to military service.

Have a great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way! Remember… Being in a hurry doesn't get you there any faster.

TODAY IS…MONARCH BUTTERFLY DAY

No other butterflies migrate like the monarchs of North America. They can travel up to 2,000 miles as they fly to Mexico or California for the winter. Those hatched in the fall live 8-9 months to make this long trip both ways. As caterpillars, they only eat plants in the milkweed family, but the adult monarchs drink nectar from many different kinds of flowers. Nectar contains sugar, which serves as their main energy source.

Plant some flowers at your house, and they might show up.

TODAY’S TRIVIA

Today is Father's Day and Family Awareness Day,

kicking off Universal Father's Week.

Today is National Cherry Tart Day.

International Declaration of Human Rights Day – Adopted on this day in 1948

1898 - Atlantic City, NJ opened its Steel Pier to a large summertime seashore crowd. The world-famous Steel Pier over the Atlantic Ocean offered 9-1/2 miles of amusements, concerts, food, beverages, concessions and more. The Steel Pier once featured a horse that would dive into a pool at the end of the pier, in fact. The summer resort gave many a youngster their start in show biz, like Ed McMahon, who used to be a barker on the ocean pier.

1927 - The U.S. Post Office offered a special 10-cent postage stamp for sale. The stamp honored Charles Lindbergh’s Spirit of St. Louis. It was the first postage stamp to feature the name of a living American.

TODAY’S SMILE

The Wedding Dress!

Betty was soon to be married. More than anything, she wanted to wear the wedding dress her mother was married in. Betty's mother was beaming with pride as she gave her consent.

Later in the evening, the family gathered in the living room to wait while Betty tried on the dress. When Betty entered the room, there was a chorus of approval. The dress fit perfectly and looked wonderful on her.

Tears ran down the face of Betty's mother. Seeing this, Betty said, "Don't worry Mom, you're not losing a daughter, your gaining a son."

"Forget about that!" she said with a sob.

I used to fit into that dress!

TODAY’S REFLECTION

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

Psalm 103:13

It isn’t easy to rear children, with all the temptations in the world. How great is a father who loves his wife and children as Christ loves the church.

Isn’t it wonderful that we are children of a God who loves us with that compassion?

May God’s richest blessings be on all fathers today
