Well, it's none other than Mama again! Visitors to MamaQuest will remember the big house that magically became a castle-for-the-day. Well, Mama just saw the flags (and MORE flags at Flagdom.com!) flyin' all over the international WWW (extensive flag study here!) --and decided it's about time to start flaggin' down and searchin' for that proverbial knight in shining armor, more commonly known as dad, daddy, papa, Father, or whatever name you FONDLY call him!!
And so with another wave of her magic wand--probably a broom from her closet, Peggie's Place has once again become a castle; and Peggie has begun her search. Won't you join her?
Looking for the Knight in Shining Armor!
Who's the Perfect Father?
You've always wanted to do this, I know, so here's your chance to rate your dad, your spouse, or yourself! On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest, we begin.
The Quiz!!
Possible points: 70
Necessary points to qualify for Perfect Father: 70
F aithful?
A lways there?
T rustworthy?
H onoring?
E ver-loving?
R ighteous?
S upportive?
Add up all the points--not on paper, but in your heart--and you KNOW the score. Your dad, your spouse, or yourself didn't quite make it! Don't feel bad--cause no one else on planet earth did either! It's an imperfect world, with imperfect people taking imperfect quizzes, and no surprise!
And so the "Quest for the Perfect Dad" continues!
THE QUEST!
Where IS he?
Let's look around the WEB, check out the Father's Day links, and see if he might be lurking there!
Still haven't found the perfect dad on this earth! The quest continues.
Who IS He??
Not MY dad--or YOUR dad either. But wait a minute--is perfection necessary to qualify for effective parenting? Of course not--most of us have been blessed by wonderful dads--loving, kind, and doing their best to handle the most difficult job in the world. So we don't beat them down--we bless them. And if yours was not the wonderful dad you wished for, life is not over--this COULD be the first day of the rest of your life!
For you see, I DO know Someone who is the PERFECT Father--God Himself, our Heavenly Father. He meets every qualification for the task--listen to His words and see!
"Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God...(1 John 3:1 KJV)."
F aithful!
"Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering (for he is faithful that promised) (Hebrews 10:23 KJV)."
A lways there!
"...for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee (Hebrews 13:5 KJV)."
T rustworthy!
"...there hath not failed one word of all his good promises... (1 Kings 8:56 KJV)."
H onoring!
"If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be; if any man serve me, him will my Father honor (John 12:26 KJV)."
E ver-loving!
"...I have loved thee with an everlasting love; therefore, with lovingkindness have I drawn thee (Jeremiah 31:3 KJV)."
R ighteous!
"The Lord is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works (Psalm 145:17 KJV)."
S upportive!
"Fear thou not; for I am with thee. Be no dismayed; for I am thy God. I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness (Isaiah 41:10 KJV)."
The Question!
So where do we go from here? Dads are not perfect, and you may carry on your shoulders and in your heart a world of hurts. I have good news for you! You need carry them no more. For your Heavenly Father who loved the world SO much that He gave us His only Son waits to take YOUR world of hurts and make it His own; to give you new hope and a new beginning. He is your HEAVENLY Father. Your love and esteem now comes from Him. Receive it THIS day--and have the best Father's Day in the WORLD!!
"He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name (John 1:10-12 KJV)."
Happy Father's Day from THE CASTLE ON THE HILL, better known as PEGGIE'S PLACE! No perfect knights here either--but there IS one who is loved very much, who loves God first, his family second --and good hot steaks on the grill third! Happy Father's Day to my beloved husband Joe!
