What Makes A Dad?
God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle's flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities, When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete, And so,
He called it ... Dad

I want to wish everyone a Happy Father's Day. Let us honor and celebrate not only our fathers, but all men who have acted as a father figure in our life - whether as Step-fathers, Uncles, Grandfathers, or "Big Brothers."
Any man can be a Father, but it takes a special person
to be called Dad.
Did you know?
First Father's Day celebration was in Spokane, Washington on the 19th of June, 1910 by a
woman by the name of Sonora Smart Dodd, who wanted and thought that this would be a great way to honor her father.
Sonora wanted her father to know how special he was to her after her mother died and he raised her.
