Dad's Day!
He’s got big hands. There’s not much food that he doesn’t ‘enhance’ with his favorite condiment (ketchup). He enjoys a great joke, especially puns.
He’s a hard worker. Loyal, trustworthy, and faithful are just a few ways to describe him. He works full time, teaches Sunday School, serves on the church board, is a care-giver, and helps others. He doesn’t complain.
He’s simple in his needs, but he’s a spiritual giant to many, especially to me. He’s my dad.

God’s Story: Ephesians 6:1-3
Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. “Honor your father and mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise - “so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.”
What does today’s God’s Story teach us about our relationship with our Dad?
When we are young, we must obey our parents. As we grow up, the relationship changes, but we are still to honor them. Notice that the Scripture says that this “is the first commandment with a promise.”
How can we connect today’s God’s Story to our lives?
Be thankful for your earthly father. Pray for them. It’s hard being a dad. They’re not perfect, but many try to do their best to lead by example. Reflect on your relationship. Do you show honor to your dad? What way can you improve?
How can we connect today’s story, God’s Story scripture, and our story to others?
This Sunday, June 19th, is Father’s Day and makes the perfect day for you to introduce your friends to your Heavenly Father by talking about your relationship with Him. He’s the best Gift you can give you friends!
If you have a dad that’s around, please make sure that you tell him how much you appreciate him. The best gift you can give him is your admiration, respect, and love.
If you don’t have a dad, let the godly man (or person) in your life know how they’ve impacted your spiritual journey. You’ll make their day!
