My daughter wrote this letter to our local newspaper on why her dad should be Father of the Year. I thought I would share it with you.
Dear Hill Country News,
It is going to be hard to tell you how much my dad means to me. There are so many good qualities that he has, and there are so many good things that he has done for me, that I don’t think I can fit them all, into a letter. I love my dad so much that I will have to use a paragraph for each reason.
My dad cares. My dad cares about my mom, and me and my siblings. And he says, “I love you.” very often.
My dad is very funny. He can turn any awkward situation into a laughing matter. And he laughs at mine and my siblings jokes however stupid or corny they are. Whenever anyone is feeling sad or frustrated or even depressed my dad can make a joke fitting to the occasion and make that person laugh.
My dad cares about mine and my siblings future. He always wants the best for his kids. My dad wants us to be world changers in our own way. He doesn’t expect us to grow up and become a computer programmer just like him.
My dad always has time for me. No matter what if I ever want to talk, get advice, or even just chatter. My dad is there to listen to me.
My dad is interested in my life. He cares about my interests. Whenever I come home from a class my dad is there to talk about what happened.
My dad is a Christian. That means a lot to me. He always tries to set a good example. He wants his kids to love god with all their heart, soul, and mind.
My dad always puts me before stuff. If I accidentally break something my dad will forgive me.
I really, truly, think my dad is top quality. Sure, he’s not perfect, who is? But he’s as close to perfect as you can get.
Have a happy Father's Day!

Billy Bear's Playground has lots of fun activities that children can print out for Father's Day. You can make a virtual tie and send it as an e-card, print out coupons, coloring pages and find craft ideas. This is a fun site!
What are they going to think? How will we be able to fix our car? Are we going to have enough money to send our children to college? Isn't it amazing what we worry about? There is always something to worry about in our lives and if we look back at what we worried about a year ago, we realize that the problem that seemed so huge passed and that God worked it out for our good. So if you are worried about what curriculum to use or how you are going to teach your child to read, just remember that in a year from now you will look back and it won't seem like a big deal at all. Lay your worries at the Heavenly Father's feet and He will lead you to the right curriculum and help your child learn to read and then go about your day praising the Creator of the Earth. He will take care of all of your problems, even the seemingly small and insignificant ones.
