Special Days


Occasionally on special days we need to ponder and reflect. Father's Day is one of them that always provides that opportunity for me. I had a bright and intelligent Dad who did his best at providing a good education for us. I enjoy the classical music that he so enjoyed. He built a tennis court for us as teenagers so we were able to invite friends home to play. He watched over us and our activities until we left home. Sometimes we wish things might have been otherwise, or better, but I thank God for him his provision for us.

"Listen to your father, who gave you life" Proverbs. 23. 22

Very interesting photo, and some special memories. My dad built me a portable quilt frame, I'll never get rid of it, even though I rarely quilt.

So many children today are being raised without the benefit of their fathers. I can't imagine what a loss that must be for them and how it adversely affects them. So we were lucky that we had fathers present and they supported us.

Thanks Irene, and Donna. We have been lucky to have had fathers to help us, and yes, so many kids today miss out o a lot, especially if they have absent fathers!
