"The Code" series Pastor Charles did continue today
On "Saying Thank You to Fathers" he had a lot to say
His core text was Ephesians chapter six verses two and three
"Honour your father and mother" is linked to a promise we see
The code of honour means that appreciation we should show
A "thank you" from the heart has great weight, as we all know
Pastor then talked about thank yous numbering four
Although I have a feeling he actually had several more
"Thank you for providing" was first on the plate
He read from 1 Timothy chapter five verse eight
Fathers have it in their DNA to provide for family
If not, we are denying our faith Paul says reliably
For resources, to our fathers like ATMs we often look
They provide an atmosphere of love in every nook
"Thank you for teaching and training" was number two
As Ephesians chapter six verse two tells fathers to do
This relates to life and faith, by example they should lead
For fathers can model the love of God that children need
"Thank you for your life of serving and sacrifice" was number three
John 3:16 provides the most poignant example of this we will see
A father always wants his children's lives to be better than his own
So whatever the price required, he will never complain or moan
"Thank you for showing love and grace" was then number four
Luke 15:21-23 tells of the prodigal son's return to his home door
The best robe and fatted calf, his father did bring out to celebrate
Showing that no matter what, a father's love for children is great
Of course God is our Father perfect in every way
He shows us grace and mercy every single day
We are naturally drawn to his fatherly heart
For the fruits of grace He wants to impart
So as this Father's Day we celebrate and enjoy
Let us remember one thing, whether girl or boy
God is deserving of our every thanks and praise
For in His time, He will always deliver and amaze
He is the perfect Father for us all
