LDS FATHER'S DAY CARDS:
(By Bettyanne Bruin)


Thanks for not doing your home teaching, Dad, ‘cause we love being with you every night of the month!

Sorry about burning down your tent at Scout Camp last Summer, Dad, but I promise, if you’ll come with me next year, I’ll never douse your tent with lighter fluid ever again.

Do you realize, Dad, that Father’s Day could be even better if it wasn’t for Adam’s transgression? But, have a good day any way.

Sorry, Dad, that sometimes I’m so glad when you come home that I wrap my arms around your neck and nearly choke you.

Thanks for having a family here on Earth, Dad, that we want to spend our life with through all eternity, except for those two wayward children, Kristin and Randy.

Dad, thanks for sitting up at that little table in the front of the chapel each Sunday, strolling the aisles to count how many people are in attendance, then going back up to your little table and drifting off to sleep so that we can all watch you instead of listening to some of those long, boring talks.

Happy Father’s Day, Dad. May all of your basketball games next year not end up costing you so much money in attorney’s fees.

You’re the best, Dad. Even though your Primary class drives you crazy and you have to put them in a headlock sometimes, I think they’re finally starting to get the message that reverence begins with each one of us.

Thanks for hanging in there on all of those family nights, Dad, and letting us drag you to family prayer, and for letting us keep your bedroom door open each morning so you can hear us during family scripture-time.

Sorry you didn’t win the Pinewood Derby, Dad, and you really shouldn’t have slugged the winner in the face and gotten hauled off by the cops, but we still love you anyway.

Happy Father’s Day, Dad, and thanks for ringing the buzzer in Sunday School to remind everyone in the Ward of what a loser you are. (Just kidding, Russ.)

HAPPY FATHER’ DAY, DAD!!!
