Many Blessings to all Fathers everywhere, I hope you enjoy your Special Day or enjoyed it whenever your Father’s Day was and have some great Memories to hold onto.
Do you know why God Created you the way He did ? It was no accident, the reason below will help to unravel the Mystery, you are indeed Unique and Needed and if you would like further reassurance listen to God’s Love Letter to you on the Power Point below the Message.
Creating Fathers
When the good Lord was creating Fathers, He started with a tall frame.
An Angel watching nearby said…
“What kind of Father is that?”
If you’re going to make Children so close to the ground, why have you put Fathers up so high?
He won’t be able to shoot marbles without kneeling, tuck a Child in bed without bending or even kiss a Child without a lot of stooping.”
And God smiled and said…
Yes, but if I make him Child size who would Children have to look up to?”
And when God made a Father’s hands, they were large and sinewy.
The Angel shook her head sadly and said, “Large hands are clumsy.
They can’t manage diaper pins, small buttons, rubber bands on ponytails or even remove splinters caused by sticks used as baseball bats.”
And God smiled and said…
“I know, but they’re large enough to hold everything a small boy empties from his pockets at the end of a day, yet small enough to cup a Child’s face.”
And then God molded long, slim legs and broad shoulders.
The Angel nearly had a heart attack. “Boy, this is the end of the week, all right”.
Do you realize you just made a Father without a lap? How is he going to pull a Child close to him without the kid falling between his legs?”
And God smiled and said…
“A Mother needs a lap.”
A Father needs strong shoulders to pull a sled, balance a boy on a bicycle or hold a sleepy head on the way home from the Circus.”
God was in the middle of creating two of the largest feet anyone had ever seen when the Angel could contain herself no longer.
“That’s not fair.”
“Do you honestly think those large boats are going to dig out of bed early in the morning when the baby cries?”
“Or walk through a small birthday party without crushing at least three of the guests?”
And God smiled and said…
“They’ll work You’ll see”
They’ll support a small Child who wants to ride a horse to Banbury Cross or scare off mice at the summer cabin or display shoes that will be a challenge to fill.”
God worked on…
Giving the Father few words but a firm authoritative voice and eyes that saw everything, but remained calm and tolerant.
Finally, almost as an afterthought,
He added tears.
Then He turned to the Angel and said…
“Now, are you satisfied that he can Love as much as a Mother?”that they are both needed.
The Angel said no more.
Genesis 2:18 And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
God saw all that He made and it was very good.

We sure do Debbie need both Mom’s and Dad’s and good friends too, we were Created to need each other and we do especially in The Body of Christ. God also said it is not good for Man to be alone, so along came Wives, which is truly a Blessing for them don’t you agree Lol
Christian Love Always – Annie.

Fathers I think are Gods way of having a little joke, seriously though for most times they arn`t complicated, what you see is what you get. He made us to do only one thing at a time ,its less complicated, so lets cheer on our uniqueness.
Blessings

Interesting Love … why do men always think they are not complicated and woman are, we all have the same deeper heart needs… Love, acceptance and approval and God created us with these needs or we wouldn’t seek Him but it is only when we do with all our Heart and being that we are fulfilled and perfected in His Love.
Your a Good Father Ron just ask Carolyn but you are complicated!
Christian Love Anne, your willing uncomplicated wife.Lol
