Happy Father's Day

Today is Father's Day. My husband received four Father's Day's presents from our children. "Aren't you lucky? Daddy" our oldest boy asked.
"Well, I feel I am more than lucky to have four of you."

Dear friends, do you also wish your heavenly Father a "Happy Father's Day"? Here is a poem to share with you:

Your Father Knoweth

A J Flint
He knows the need of my life
For shelter and raiment and food;
In each trifling care of the day
The word of His promise is good;
He knows my thought from afar.
The wish that I never have told,
And every unspoken desire
His wisdom does grant or withhold

He knows the way that I take;
Each step of that way He has planned:
And, walking through sunshine or storm,
I walk in the shade of His hand
In deserts untrodden and drear,
Where foes in the darkness may hide,
He leaves me never alone;
He sends me light and a guide.

He knows the need of my soul-
The trial that calls for His grace,
The weakness that leans on His strength,
The fear that looks up to His face.
He knows what sifting is best
To scatter the chaff from the wheat
And lay all my self-righteous pride
Low down in the dust at His feet,

He knows me-yet He can love,
Can wait with love’s patience divine,
My stubborn and arrogant heart
Its will to His own to resign;
He knows my frame is but dust;
He knows how much it can bear;
I rest in that knowledge supreme;
