Last Minute Idea for Father's Day

6.19.2011

This year, instead of making homemade cards for Father's Day,  I encouraged my kids to write their Dad a letter.  I suggested that far more special than the bottle of cologne we wrapped up this morning would be their words of gratitude.

To simplify the endeavor, I printed out this cute form letter. All the kids had to do was fill in the blank! Their "fill-ins" were as diverse as their personalities, a precious window into their unique souls. Without a doubt, the letters were the real gift of the day.


Dear Dad,

 I am so glad that God made you my dad. 

Of all the dads in the world, I think you’re best for me because...


I love it when we do things together. My favorite thing to do with you is...

 I think you are really good at...

What I admire about you is....

The one thing I want you to know on this special day is....

Love,





If you need to add a few 'apples of gold' to your celebration today, feel free to copy this little letter and invite your children to give the gift of a well-timed word.

The Overflow:   A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold 
      In settings of silver.  -Proverbs 25:11
