HAPPY FATHERS DAY

The first thing we need to do to have a Happy Father’s Day, is to make sure we have received Christ as our Personal Savior! This is where a Happy Father’s Day should and will start!
Then we should honor His Bible-preaching, soul-winning, church! If we are going to have our children in church, we as fathers have to be there ourselves, worshiping and praising, and serving God and being faithful in our walk with Him. Our children are watching our walk, does it match our talk? Are we happy to be at church? DOES IT SHOW!
Then we should honor God’s Word, His Holy Bible! We should read the Bible aloud in our home, in the presence of our family at least once each day! Let our children know the importance of talking with God each day, through the reading of His Word, happily, faithfully, each day so our family can see the great gain spiritually of listening to His Holy Word!
Then we should Pray! We should have a prayer time with our family each day. Prayerless children come out of a prayer less home! Teach our children to pray, let them know our Heavenly Father wants to hear from us each day! He cares for us and wants to hear from us, voice our problems and failures, our praise and our worship and our belief that He will take care of them all if we will let Him.
I believe we will have a Happy Father’s Day if we as Father’s take these few simple and hard steps to ensure our hearts and homes are right with God, our Heavenly Father!
Happy Father’s Day
