Father's Day



Just like Mother's Day is celebrated to honor motherhood, Father's Day marks fatherhood to honor and commemorate our fathers and forefathers. It is a great time to let your father know you haven't forgotten him and also show him how much you value and respect him. It gives all kids an opportunity to thank and express gratitude to their fathers for all their support, love, affection and guidance throughout. The day is observed on different days in different countries but most countries celebrate it on the second Sunday in the month of June. Father's Day 2011 will be celebrated on Sunday, June 19th in most of the countries worldwide. Read through the following lines to find when is Father’s Day in different countries round the world.

For this Verse
Jude 24-25 (NIV). To him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy -- to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen.......

Thoughts on This Verse... Two things I trust implicitly: 1) God's power and might, and 2) my joy at getting to share in his presence. My best efforts will always fall short, but God's grace is greater and more glorious than my best efforts! The faultlessness that I have when I stand before him is based on his grace and mercy. How can I not praise him from a thankful heart and anticipate seeing him face to face in glory? God is our Father on earth and all living creatures.At this moment let share the celebration of Father's Day with Him together with our family especially with our father's.And don't ever forget to say "I love you" a special gift for our loving and lovable father on earth.

Fear!!!!!!




Verse for today
1 John 4:18 (NIV). There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.......

Thoughts on This Verse...
There are many kinds of fear. Some of these are legitimate. Others are imagined. Still others are irrational. Thankfully, as Christians, we don't have to be afraid of the one crucial event in our lives -- judgment. God's love saves us, empowers us, blesses us, works in us, and touches others through us. Most of all, having experienced this love, we can cast fear out of our hearts because we know where we stand with God. He is our loving Father who longs to bring us home!

Memorable Verse:
Proverbs 19:10 "Chasten your son while there is hope,
And do not set your heart on his destruction."
