Happy Father's Day!

It Is Written:
HONOR YOUR FATHER AND YOUR MOTHER, SO THAT YOU MAY
LIVE LONG IN THE LAND THE LORD YOUR GOD IS GIVING YOU.
( EXODUS 20:12 *NIV )


Today being a day to honor our father's, we began the message
with the Fifth Commandment. This Commandment is the first one
with a promise attached to it!

So as we enjoy this day with our earthly father, let us not forget
our Heavenly Father as well, for after all: HAVE WE NOT ALL ONE
FATHER? DID HE NOT CREATE US? ( MALACHI 2:10 )

Therefore on this day I would like to share the following poem
with you. A poem dedicated to our Heavenly Father!

Never Alone!

He can calm the troubled waters
When you walk in dark despair.
There is hope when you feel helpless
Knowing that the Lor is there...

Sharing in your sunshine moments
Or in valleys deep and wide,
He is always by your side.

There's no other friend so faithful
Through the sunshine and rain,
Through the teardrops and the laughter,
In your joy and in your pain.

We could never, ever thank Him
For His love He gives so free,
Never changing...never ending
Throughout all eternity.

Oh, the wonder of all wonders
As we live from day to day,
Knowing that we have a Father
Who is with us all the way.
Poet, Gertrude B. McClain

So to Dad's everywhere, GRACE AND PEACE TO YOU FROM
GOD OUR FATHER AND THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, on this your
day and throughout the year, and may God Richly Bless You as
well! Amen. ( ROMANS 1:7 )

In HIS Love & Service,
Pastor Allen

Thank you so much Short Lady

It is alway good to be reminded of Our Heavenly Fathers love for us.

My biological father was a challenged man who was always running away from something I will never know or understand. So strong was his fear he would always drink from AM to PM and pass out in bed. He would abuse my mother and even me when I was still in her womb. Mom left him when he started doing that.

So my understanding of love of the Father wasn't something that came easy.

Yet Our Lord didn't give up and finally at the age of 37, I started to allow His love to enter my life.
Now in my 50's I am experiencing the Amazing, Extravagant Love of the Father. What the world couldn't provide He did. In return I am trying to share His love with others that were like my old self. I am meeting them at all ages as the Lord puts them in my path.

Don't we serve an awesome Father who is perfect in every way!!

Thanks again Short Lady for this sharing on this special day.
