Father’s Day! by Dolores S.Some of our seniors do not have an

earthly father to remember this Father’sDay, but we all have a heavenly Father.

He loves us so much.Don’t you long for his touch?It seems we celebrate and remember

our Father only on Father’s Day. Isthat enough?

He remembers us and loves us 24hours a day and 7 days a week. He saidin the bible, “He will never leave us orforsake us.”

So why all the fuss?The fuss is He died on the cross to

take away our sins.Today, tell Jesus you love Him.He wants to hear from you every day,

not just on Father’s Day.He is “Our Father who art in heaven,”

that means He is our Father toeveryone.

He knows your name and what youare going through.

He wants you to talk to Him.“Our Father is God-Jesus is His son.Make this Father’s Day really special

by telling him you love him.
