SSCC Father's Day

3:00 AM | Posted by Chris Olsen, Glowbug | | Edit Post

Happy Sunday Everyone!! I hope you are having a great and blessed weekend!! Mine has very eventful with a house full of guests. Today my dear daughter, Nicki, plays a piano duet with her piano teacher in church. I think Mom is more nervous than dd is though. LOL!

Anywho...today it is time for another Stampin Sisters in Christ challenge!! This week's hostess is the dear Lisa!!

Lisa chose the verse:
(Eph 6:2-4 NRSV) "Honor your father and mother"--this is the first commandment with a promise: {3} "so that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth." {4} And, fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

I thank my Heavenly Father in heaven for the earthly father he has given me each and every day!! What a blessing to have a Christian father who loves the Lord and shares that love with me each and every day!! Dad's Christian example is evident in all he does, including in how he brought us up...as God instructed him. We need to be thankful for our husbands and father's and this monstrous task they have in front of them of caring and directing their children and wives. I know I support my hubby and father in prayer as well as in deed. Over the years, I have come to learn that the Christian upbringing and the family structure of having both parents in a household is very rare. I cringe at the number of split families and how is devastates children. "Thank you Lord for a Christian Father and husband! Please help them seek their will in all they do in bringing up their children and wives in You." Please be with those families who are hurting or missing a parent, whether it be from divorce or death. Amen.

This week Lisa has challenged us to Make a Father's Day card... or a card praising our Father in Heaven

Here is my take on the challenge:

For my card I used the Winds of Grace stamp set from SU. The dp is Su Parisian Breeze (retired). Most all materials excluding the silver baubles and the computer generated sentiment are from SU.

For more inspiration for the Stampin in Christ Challenge, please visit my dt sisters:
Grace, Linda, Lisa, Peggysue, Randi (on leave), Miesje, Kristine, Sabrina, Marilynn and Rebecca.

For the full devotional and challenge details please visit the Stampin Sisters in Christ Challenge.
