We are all accountable for the gifts God has given us-our time, our talent, and our treasure. Each of us is accountable not only for our own life, but for the lives of others as well. One day God will ask each of us what did we do with the gifts we were given.

Father’s Day Blessing “We give our thanks, Creator God, for the fathers in

our lives. Fatherhood does not come with a manual, and reality teaches us that some fathers excel while others fail. We ask for Your blessings for them all – and for-

giveness where it is needed. This Father’s Day we remember the many sacrifices fathers make for their children and families, and the ways – both big and small – they

lift children to achieve dreams thought beyond reach. So too, we remember all those who have helped fill the void when

fathers pass early or are absent – grandfathers and uncles, brothers and cousins, teachers, pastors and coaches – and the women of our

families. For those who are fathers, we ask for wisdom and humility in the face

of the task of parenting. Give them the strength to do well by their children and by You.

In Your Holy name, O God, we pray. Amen.”
