Father's Day Is Upon Us
Father’s Day is upon us. According to Wikipedia, Father's Day is a celebration honoring fathers and celebrating fatherhood, paternal bonds, and the influence of fathers in society. Many countries celebrate it on the third Sunday of June, but it is also celebrated widely on other days. Father's Day was created to complement Mother's Day, a celebration that honors mothers and motherhood.

Prompt #2

Prompt #3
There are many famous dad’s. Who would you say is the world's most famous dad? What characteristics make him a good father to you? Is this father a fictional character or a real life father?

Spend Father’s Day honoring your Father in Heaven by reading His word to you, the Bible. For God so love the world (that is YOU!) that He gave His only begotten Son so that whomsoever believes in Him shall have eternal life. (John 3:16)
