Father's Day Memories

A few days before Father's day I was listening to the car radio and the DJ on a favorite station was talking about gifts for dad.  She stated that what most father's want is not the latest electronic gadget or tie, but to know they are respected by their children.  


I know at times in our home I do not always show my husband respect and there is a trickle down effect with our children.  I have been bothered by this and realize the only one who can change this is me.  I am working on it!  Ephesians 5:22
Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord.

I must remind myself daily that I should be an example to my family and lead my children in the way they should respect their father. Colossians 3:20

Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord. 

After hearing the radio DJ, I decided that for our gift to dad the kids would write what he means to them. The younger ones would draw a picture of something they loved doing with dad. These gifts were presented to my husband and I believe he was overwhelmed by the words. The kids enjoyed doing it and it was a great reminder of how great our dad is!!!
