For
Children
"My Dad, Chosen by God"
Our children's storyteller, Ed Lewis, writes : "I want to talk
about Dads. Why is that? What is today? That's right - it is
Father's day. It is only right that we take time in church to
talk about Dads on Father's Day. What are some things that
Father's do, to be a good Dad? Most important is love, and since
God made Dads, He gives them lots of love. That is easy! Let's
put on our thinking caps and come up with other things that make
a good Dad. Things that my Dad did that made him a great Dad, is
tour guide, protector, hard worker (made money for us to live),
entertainer (used to make me laugh), teacher, and advisor. These
are just a few of the things that I remember about my Dad. My
Dad died when I was seven, but, I remember all these things
about him.
"The day my
first son, Eric, was born, Nov. 13th, 1979, they placed this
baby in my arms. I remember I started to cry. At that moment I
thought of my Dad and I felt like I was standing there in his
shoes looking down at me as a baby in his arm. It was like God
gave me a moment that I shared with Dad. Then when I started to
think about me being a Dad, that I had been chosen for this job,
chosen by God. We went on to have two other children and at each
birth I felt choen again and again. We all are lucky that God
chooses are Fathers. It is important for Dad's to know how
special they are, that God loves them so much that he gives them
a big responsibility. It is also, important to know how much we
appreciate them and how much we love our Dads."

Eternal Lord,
as we leave this

the Spirit beside us,
and the security of
your presence beneath us. AMEN
