WHAT MAKES A DAD
God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagles flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew his masterpiece was complete,
And so, He called it … Dad

A beautiful poem, written for an amazing Dad …. But the reality for so
many children who Living Hope encounters on a day to day basis through
our Life Skills Program, is this coming Father’s Day, many children
will wake up in their homes with no Dad. In the area in which we work
less than 20% of children live with both their mother and father .
Living Hope Life Skill Educators are the ones who often play the
fatherly role to the fatherless in our community.
This Fathers Day why not sign up for our DAD program and know that you
will be making a difference in the lives of children who have not had
the privilege of having a loving father. For as little as $1 per day,
you can sign up online for 1, 3, 6, or 12 months and we will email you
a gift certificate which you can give to your Dad this Father’s Day
and know, that you have made a difference to a fatherless child.
“Would you be willing to play the fatherly role through the
sponsorship of the Life Skills Program and effectively allow these
children to have some form of fatherly input through our very
dedicated staff? I encourage you to commit yourself to this program.”
John V Thomas, Chairman and Founder of Living Hope.
