"God Honors Those Who Honor Him "

God gives us blessings that are eternal and not necessarily immediate.  Sometimes those blessings are trials.

He blesses us with that which will make us eternally stronger.

A father should be slow to anger.

A father should pass knowledge onto his children and others.

We should remember our Heavenly Father on father's day as well as our early father.  On Father’s Day earthly father's should reflect on how they are like Heavenly Father and where they can improve.

8 Wherefore, stand ye in holy places, and be not moved, until the day of the Lord come; for behold, it cometh quickly, saith the Lord. Amen.

Be involved in the community.  Look for ways to be involved regularly and not just when there is tragedy or disaster.
