Happy Father’s Day!

"Walk a Little slower, Daddy."said a little child so small.I'm following in your footstepsand I don't want to fall.Sometimes your steps are very fast,sometimes they're hard to see;So walk a little slower Daddy,for you are leading me. Somedaywhen I am all grown up,You're what I want to be.Then I will have a little childwho'll want to follow me.And I would want to leadjust right, and know that I was true;So, walk a little slower, Daddy,for I am following you! - Author Unknown

Walk a LittleSlower Daddy....

The father of a righteous man has great joy;he who has a wise son delights in him.

Proverbs 23:24
