Best Father's Day Movies!


Happy Father's Day to all you great dads out there! Sometimes your efforts go unnoticed, like working long hours, taking the garbage out, mowing the lawn, attending ball games and dance recitals, and worst of all, disciplining. But these tasks give us structure, your steadiness gives us security, and the time you spend with us gives us support when we need it most.

Therefore, I hope you receive the appreciation you deserve and have a great day filled with lots of fun and love from the kiddos! Like most guys, you may be looking for a good movie to settle down with at the end of the day. Here are a few worth considering that celebrate fathers of all kinds!























Final thought...
Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it. -Proverbs 22:6

Honoring Dad

Happy Father's Day to all the wonderful, hardworking dads out there! It seems mothers often receive the majority of affection and praise from their children, so I believe it is important to remind our fathers just how much we appreciate everything they do. Their job is often thankless, as it may mean providing financially or fixing things up around the house. Those aren't exactly tasks that elicit obvious attention, but are praiseworthy nonetheless.

For a featured song we have chosen a track called "Father's Love" by Bob Carlisle. It can be found on his album "Best Of: Butterfly Kisses & Other Stories". I have to say though, it was not easy to find a song that actually showed appreciation to dads. Although it may seem that good fathers are few and far between, I think it really just goes to show the deep effect that a child's relationship with their father has. I think we could all agree, whether you're a son or daughter, nothing can quite cause pride to swell up like knowing our dad is proud of us. It actually seems to reflect that hope to one day hear our Heavenly Father say, "well done, good and faithful servant".

If you have a good father don't take it for granted! Be sure to take this opportunity to shower him with the love and respect he deserves. Take him out and treat him like a king - we all know it's how he envisions himself anyway (ha)! We all need those moments where we know that all our hard work is not in vain. Sometimes all it takes is a thank you. May this be a truly blessed day for all of you!

Creating A Special Gift For Dad

Father's Day is this Sunday (June 20th), and if you or your children are looking for a unique, last minute gift for Dad I've got just the thing! Why not consider taking all your favorite family photos and making a Memory Book that Dad will cherish for years to come?

Unlike traditional scrapbooks, anyone can create a Memory Book even if they are short on time and resources. There are many businesses that offer services for customized books, but with so little time left between now and Sunday I recommend using Walmart's Photo Service. Not only for their easy to use software and affordable prices, but the in-store pickup is convenient as well.

If a Memory Book seems to be too big of a project to handle you can also customize calendars, clothing, mugs, cards, posters and much more! But ya better get on it soon...time is running out! Check out the website for more info:
