Children, obey your parents in the Lord, because this is right. “Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with a promise, “so that it may go well with you and that you may have a long life long in the land.” Ephesians 6:1-3 CSB

Happy Father’s Day!!

God made our families and gave us moms and dads. Today, on Father’s Day, we celebrate our dads! One of God’s commands was that we honor our parents. That means that we treat them with love, respect, and kindness and that we do what they ask of us (like doing your homework and helping with chores).

Today I have a task for you. I want you to make your dad a special card for Father’s Day. On the front, draw a picture of you and your dad. Then on the inside write all the special things about your dad that make him the greatest dad! I’ll help you get started. I am going to write the first part of a sentence and you finish it about your dad. Your mom can help you if you like.

My Best, Special Dad!

Today, on Father’s Day, make sure to thank your dad for all he does. And tell your dad how special he is to you and that you love him. And don’t forget to thank God for your wonderful dad. Enjoy your day by showing your dad how much you appreciate him!

If your dad is not around, remember that God is your Father, too. He created you and loves you and cares for you as a son or daughter. You can thank God for being your Father and make Him a card.

Blessings as you celebrate your dad on Father’s Day!
