Father’s Day 2020

Fourteen weeks into isolation!!!  But, things are easing up a little.

This coming Sunday is Father’s Day.  

Q: And, what are many fathers known for?
A:  Bad Jokes

Q:  And, what else?

A:  For burning meat on the grill for Father’s day, for getting ties as presents (that he may or not wear), for loving his family to his very innermost being, but not always able to share his love in words, for saying “You’ll have to ask your Mom”, for working long hours to provide support for his family, for being there when you need him!!

So, I found some pretty stupid jokes for Father's Day!!!

But, as I’m writing this Father’s Day note, I’m thinking of yesterday’s Saturday stories blog - of the friend who had fallen between the cracks.  Have you called your father for Father’s Day?  Did you send him a card?  And … Did you tell him that you love him?

"Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you,"  Exodus 20:12.

“Cursed is anyone who dishonors their father or mother,” (Deuteronomy 27:16).

If you respect your father, you can make up for your sins, Sirach 3:3

Honor your father in everything you do and say, so that you may receive his blessing. Sirach 3:8

My child, take care of your father when he grows old; give him no cause for worry as long as he lives. Be sympathetic even if his mind fails him; don't look down on him just because you are strong and healthy.  The Lord will not forget the kindness you show to your father; it will help you make up for your sins. Sirach 3:12-14
