It’s Finally Summer Day and it's Father’s Day today !
Father's Day in the United States is on the third Sunday of June and for this year it is also the first day of Summer. Today we celebrate the contribution that fathers and father figures make in their children's lives. Father figures can include fathers, step fathers, fathers in law, grandfathers and great grandfathers and even other male relatives.
The first time Father's Day was held in June was in 1910. Father's Day was officially recognized as a holiday in 1972 by President Nixon.
Happy Fathers Day and Happy Summer !
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side

THOUGHT FOR TODAY
The most important thing in the world is family and love.
John Wooden
Weather permitting we’ll be enjoying a family picnic to celebrate Fathers Day today. It’s grand that all my children can be together on this special day. I know their father would be so very proud of them all.
We’ve had so many rainy days lately and today may just be one of them. The good news is that for the most part it rains and then it stops for awhile and doesn’t down pour continuously for the whole day.
I hope everyone remembers to put some insect repellant on because there will no doubt be a lot of those pesky misquotes joining in on the party after all the rain we’ve had.
The pictures today are of my sons and my son in law, they are all great fathers and I wish them a very Happy Fathers Day !
I hope you all have a restful and relaxing Sunday !

What Is A Dad?
A dad is someone who
wants to catch you before you fall
but instead picks you up,
brushes you off,
and lets you try again.
A dad is someone who
wants to keep you from making mistakes
but instead lets you find your own way,
even though his heart breaks in silence
when you get hurt.
A dad is someone who
holds you when you cry,
scolds you when you break the rules,
shines with pride when you succeed,
and has faith in you even when you fail…

COUNTING MY GIFTS
Blessed indeed is the man who hears many gentle voices call him father!
Lydia M. Child,
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
2874. for all fathers, its their day to celebrate
2875. for insect repellant, it’s needed here
2876. for my family, it’s wonderful that we can all be together
Enter into His courts with thanksgiving — and in His presence is fullness of Joy!
PRAYER FOR OUR TROOPS
Please pray for God's protection of
our troops and HIS wisdom for their
commanders.
Lord, hold our troops in
your loving hands.
Protect them as they protect us.
Bless them and their families for the
selfless acts they perform for us
in our time of need. I ask this in the
name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior.
AND bless our Police Officers, Firefighters
and Paramedics and EMT's
GOD BLESS YOU ALL !

ADVICE FOR TODAY
By the time a man realizes that maybe his father was right, he usually has a son who thinks he's wrong.

A bit of love from someone dear…

Goodness, but I think your eldest sure resembles you, Ma!
I hope this special day spent with all the 'kiddos' and their families is wonderfully fun. You're so richly blessed.
