That doesn't make you a father. It's the courage to raise a child that makes you a father. We need fathers to step up, to realize that their job does not end at conception; that what makes you a man is not the ability to have a child but the courage to raise one." - Barack Obama"Dads are most ordinary men turned by love into heroes, adventurers, storytellers, and singers of song." – Pam Brown"It's only when you grow up and step back from him — or leave him for your own home — it's only then that you can measure his greatness and fully appreciate it." – Margaret Truman"A father is someone you look up to no matter how tall you grow." – Unknown“Only the best dads let their children fly. Only the most loved children will soar. Thank you for giving me wings.” – Unknown“It doesn’t matter who my father was; it matters who I remember he was.” – Anne Sexton"I believe that what we become depends on what our fathers teach us at odd moments, when they aren't trying to teach us. We are formed by little scraps of wisdom." – Umberto Eco, from Foucault's Pendulum"What my father especially taught me was to not always take the safe road, the easy road. If you are going to do good work, you have to risk failing badly." – Natasha RichardsonDad: A son's first hero, a daughter's first love." – Unknown"The quality of a father can be seen in the goals, dreams and aspirations he sets not only for himself, but for his family." – Reed Markham"He was there when I didn't understand, he was there when I was wrong, he was there when I cried, he was there when I lied. For some reason my dad was always there, when I needed him the most." – Michael Jordan"I am not ashamed to say that no man I ever met was my father's equal, and I never loved any man as much." – Hedy Lamarr"A father is neither an anchor to hold us back nor a sail to take us there, but a guiding light whose love shows us the way." – Unknown"My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person: He believed in me." – Jim Valvano"A father is a man who expects his children to be as good as he meant to be." – Carol Coats"To the world, you are a dad. But to our family, you are the world." – Unknown"A good father is one of the most unsung, unpraised, unnoticed, and yet one of the most valuable assets in our society." – Billy Graham"One father is more than a hundred schoolmasters." – George Herbert“For every dream that has taken flight, there’s a father who believed.” – Jennifer Fujita“When you teach your son, you teach your son's son.” – The Talmud“A dad makes sure all his campers are happy campers.” – Bill Whitehead“It is a wise father that knows his own child.” – William Shakespeare“Every son quotes his father, in words and in deeds.” – Terri Guillements“Great fathers don’t find fault.

They trust that with God's grace, they can stay on the right path and ultimately share in God's joy above.

When The Herds Were WatchingPoet: William CantonWhen the herds were watchingIn the midnight chill,Came a spotless lambkinFrom the heavenly hill. Snow was on the mountains,And the wind was cold.When from God's own gardenDropped a rose of gold. When it was bitter winter,Houseless and forlornIn a star-lit stableChrist the Babe was born. Welcome, heavenly lambkin;Welcome, golden rose;Alleluia, Baby,In the swaddling clothes! I Am But A Tiny GirlPoet: Elizabeth Froude CampbellI am but a tiny girl,And don't quite understandAll the pretty things I'm toldAbout the spirit land. I know that Jesus was a child.And quite lowly born;And was laid where oxen feed,On a Christmas morn. While shepherds watched their sheep one night,All resting on the ground.An angel came from God to them.And glory shone around. He pointed to a lovely star,'Neath where the baby lay;The shepherds sought the place to findBefore the break of day. They found it, and 'twas sacred ground,Everywhere they trod;Then kneeling down, they gazed uponThe Holy Child of God. This child, I know, to manhood grew.And died for us through love;He rose again, and now as kingReigns in our home above. Grateful for His GiftPoet: Catherine PulsiferLet Christmas fill our world with cheer,With gratitude for Christ so dear.God’s precious gift, our guiding light,Brings faith and hope through every night. Let love reflect His holy grace,As joy lights up each heart and place.Together, may we humbly pray,Thanking God for this blessed day. Playlist:Joy To The World – Ricky Dillard and The New Generation ChoraleJoy, Peace, and Favor – Craig Hayes and UMACDo You Hear What I Hear – Shirley CaesarMary Did You Know – Jonathan McReynoldsJesus, Oh What a Wonderful Child – Lemmie BattlesOh Holy Night – Kelly ClarksonNow Behold The Lamb – Kirk Franklin and The FamilyWeb Resources:Encyclopediaofreligions.comBiblestudytools.comBible.knowing-Jesus.comGotquestions.org
