Happy Father's Day

Fathers have the most amazing calling and title in the world.  For a man to be called father is the biggest honor on this planet, in my opinion.  I realize it comes with a huge amount of responsibility, but also the greatest rewards known to man.   It’s awesome that God would allow His son’s to share in the love and the joy of being a father. 

I think God has an extra tuned-in ear for the prayers of a father because He knows what it's like to be a father.  I know He understands a father’s heart more than we could ever begin to imagine. 

When I think of fathers, I think of sacrifice. 

Sacrifice of themselves;  their time, and energy, and money every single day.

  God sacrificed His only Son because of His great love for us.  There is no greater love than that. 

I know the fathers on this earth all fall short of that sort of perfect love, but I think their love is the closest it gets on this earth to that kind of love.

  The kind of sacrificial love that can do the hardest things, for the greater purpose. 

Father’s that know God and His love are capable of loving with a love that is out of this world.  They love, even  when it hurts or costs them everything and even when they may get nothing in return.

 I have been blessed in my life to be surrounded by some of the best fathers on earth.

  My father is a true father, with a father's love and a love for the Father.

  He has loved sacrificially, and provided generously, and pointed all his children to God the Father.

Happy Father’s day to my dad. 

 Thanks for being such a great father to me and my sisters.

 

My man is also a father of a bunch of kids and he has a true father’s heart. 

He gives and gives and gives and works his ever-loving head off, but the best thing he does is points his kids to his Father in heaven. 

Happy Father's Day to my man!

My dad and my man are 2 of the best I've ever known.

  They have both made mistakes along the way, but here’s the thing that makes them so great, they love the Lord and they love their kids and love covers any mistakes that are made along the way. 

1 Peter 4:8

8 Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins.

 These dad’s give their kids the greatest gift they can give; they are Jesus followers and they know who their Father God is.

  They always look to Him and ask for help and also for forgiveness.   

They are covered in love and grace by their Father and they pass it right on to their children. 

The best a father on this earth can do, is pass on the love of the Father.

Happy Father’s Day to my man.  

Thank you for being such an incredible father to our children. 

This is how my man spent his Father's Day weekend. 

 He flew into Billings, Montana and hit the ground running. 

 He built a deck for the Bowen Bunch.

He held his brand new grand baby and then gathered up the rest of his family,

and drove us 14 hours home.
