I realize it’s a little late to be posting about Father’s Day, but here goes:
On Father’s Day I preached a sermon in our Parables of Jesus series about the Parable of the Sower called Lessons from the Dirt.
After church we went out to lunch with my dad and then we drove to South Dakota for a few days away as a family in the Black Hills and the Badlands, that filled us with a strong desire to watch Dances with Wolves when we got back.
My family got me an ENO hammock for Father’s Day, which I look forward to getting a lot of use out of.
I’ve always hated the song “Cat’s in the Cradle” by Harry Chapin. It’s a haunting and depressing message about how quickly kids grow up and about the regret of a father who wasn’t around for his son. So I was glad when I came across this video put out by TD Ameritrade for Father’s Day of that song with re-worked lyrics, telling a different story of fatherhood.
See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! (1 John 3:1)

This warms my heart. Awesomeness! Happy Father’s Day. (It’s everyday)
That’s probably true 🙂 But it reminds me: In Hungary they don’t have a Father’s Day holiday and that’s what they say: “Everyday is Father’s Day.” However, they do have a Children’s Day. I remember being a kid in the US and asking my parents why there was a Mother’s Day and a Father’s Day but no Children’s Day. They told me it was because every day is Children’s Day.
Awww, your parents are the best.
