[Faith-talk] Good Night Message for Friday, June 15 2012

[Ashley Bramlett]

Hi Paul,
Excellent message here. As someone who is very attached to their father, I 
think this message spoke to me. My father serves as driver, reader, mentor, 
and overall helper. He is one to also let me grow, but stays supportive of 
me. I relate to him more easier than my protective critical mother. I look 
forward to father's day and sharing it with my family and most importantly 
my father.

Ashley

Subject: [Faith-talk] Good Night Message for Friday, June 15 2012

Hello and good evening to you all.  Sorry about being late, but was 
literally partying on the internet.  However I'm about to deliver this Good 
Night Message to you.  I hope that your day went well; mine did.

As promised yesterday, we are going to dedicate the next three nights at 
least to fathers and Father's Day.  Now I know that Father's Day is 
celebrated in, I think, September in Australia and perhaps other days of the 
year in other countries, but here in the U.S. it's always the third Sunday 
of June.

Our words of inspiration this evening come from the pen and fertile mind of 
Iris W. Bray whose submission is entitled "A Tribute to Fathers," and is 
rendered as follows:

Father labors for our needs,
Yet finds the time to spare
To build our hopes and share our dreams,
And still has time for prayer.
We marvel at his courage, which
Dissolves our doubts and fears.
Somehow, he gathers sunbeams
And he swaps them for our tears.

A father's love has patience
And understanding, too,
When we hurt or disappoint him
By the things we say or do.
His arms are always open
With a love that will not fail
And steadfast strength to lean upon
When the trials of life prevail.

For many years his presence
Is a blessing set apart;
Then, through cherished memories,
He lives on within the heart.

And now may the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob just keep you safe 
throughout the night and especially in these last days in which we live. 
Your Christian brother, Paul
