Angels are all around.
Though they don’t make a sound.
We never see their brilliant wings.
And on their arrival no one sings.
We don’t hear any trumpets blazing.
But their deeds are still amazing.

They can be the face of a stranger.
When we are faced with mortal danger.
They can be the face of a true friend.
When we just want our life to end.
Helping us smile when feeling down.
When we feel like we’re about to drown.

They can be the face of a family member.
When we don’t want to remember.
When we just don’t know how to cope.
Showing us that there’s always hope.
They can be the face of you and I sometimes too.
Returning the kindness someone once showed you.

So when we feel like it’s us against the world.
When life’s threads seem to come unfurled.
When we feel like we just can’t go on.
When a loved one has passed or gone.
When we’re buried in our own sorrow.
When we don’t want to see tomorrow.

An angel will be there.
To show us they care.

Time passes.

Life happens.

Distance separates.

Children grow up.

Jobs come and go.

Love waxes and wanes.

Men don’t do what they’re supposed to do.

Hearts break.

Parents die.

Colleagues forget favors.

Careers end.

BUT……..

Sisters are there,

no matter how much time and how

many miles are between you.

A girl friend is never farther away

than needing her can reach.

When you have to walk that lonesome valley and you

have to walk it by yourself, the women in your life

will be on the valley’s rim, cheering you on,

praying for you, pulling for you, intervening on

your behalf, and waiting with open arms at the 

valley’s end.

Sometimes, they will even break the rules and walk

beside you…Or come in and carry you out.

Girlfriends, daughters, granddaughters,

daughters-in-law, sisters, sisters-in-law, Mothers,

Grandmothers, aunties, nieces, cousins, and extended

family, all bless our life!

The world wouldn’t be the same without women, and

neither would I. When we began this adventure called

womanhood, we had no idea of the incredible joys or

sorrows that lay ahead. Nor did we know how much we

would need each other.

Every day, we need each other still.

Have you heard about 4-year-old Sammy who was asked to return thanks before Sunday dinner?

The family members bowed their heads in expectation, and he began his prayer:

“Thank you God for all my friends: Joey, an’ Susan, an’ Billy, an’ Tommy,” and on and on he went, naming each friend one by one.

Next he thanked God for Mommy, Daddy, brother, sister, Grandma, Grandpa, and all his aunts and uncles.

Finally he got to the food.

“Thank you God for the turkey, an’ the dressing, an’ the fruit salad, an’ the pies, an’ the Cool Whip…” And then he paused.

The pause was almost deafening, and all eyes were focused on young Sammy with his head still bowed in prayer.

Finally (almost when Father was about to interject an “Amen”), Sammy looked up at his mother and asked, “If I thank God for the broccoli, won’t he know that I’m lying?”
I’m grateful we can thank God even for things we don’t like… Always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ… And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose..-Ephesians 5:20, Romans 8:28 …

Because when I begin to thank God, even for things I don’t like, it is easier for my perspective, through escaping the entrapment of my self-centeredness, to gain a more complete view of the greater picture of God’s masterpiece at work in me.

Fine - This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.
 
Five Minutes - If she is getting dressed, this is half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given 5 more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.
 
Nothing - This is the calm before the storm. This means “something” and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with “nothing” usually end in “fine”.
 
Go Ahead- This is a dare, not permission… DON’T DO IT!
 
Loud Sigh- Although not actually a word, the loud sigh is often misunderstood by men. A “Loud Sigh” means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you over “Nothing”.
 
That’s Okay- This is one of the most dangerous statements that a woman can make to a man. “That’s Okay” means that she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.
 
Thanks- This is the least used of all words in the female vocabulary. If a woman is thanking you, do not question it; just say “you’re welcome” and back out of the room slowly.

To my daddy, I’ll always be your little girl.
Love you forever and always
Sitting alone staring into space
But all I can see is a memory of your face
I still smell you when I put your t-shirts on
I wish you were here but sadly you’re gone
I’ll never forget you though I sometimes wish I could
You were there with me through everything, the sad, the bad, the good
I lie awake for hours staring at the ceiling
No one understands the vicious hurt I’m feeling
But you would have understood, you knew everything
Whenever I needed to talk you were the one I’d ring
You meant the world to me, you still do
And everything I achieve in life I do it thinking of you
For months after you left me I pretended not to feel a thing
But I felt so guilty if I was happy, smiling, even laughing
I feel you now watching me; it gives me warmth like a summer breeze
I know you’re in no pain now, and I’m glad you’re free
But I wish you could share your freedom with me
Life without you is driving me insane
So I’m forgetting you, forgetting the pain.

You may have thought I didn’t see,
Or that I hadn’t heard,
Life lessons that you taught to me,
But I got every word.

Perhaps you thought I missed it all,
And that we’d grown apart,
But Dad, I picked up everything,
It’s written on my heart.

Without you, Dad, I wouldn’t be
The (woman)(man) I am today;
You built a strong foundation
No one can take away.

I’ve grown up with your values,
And I’m very glad I did;
So here’s to you, dear father,
From your forever grateful kid.

Every day the whole year through,
I feel grateful you are my father.
Some fathers don’t have time for their kids,
But for you I’m never a bother.

You always make the effort to listen and share;
You’re always there when you’re needed.
It warms me to know how much you care,
And with that knowledge my worries are defeated.

Dad, you are truly admired and adored,
And as your daughter, I hope that you know,
These sentiments fill me each day of the year,
And my love for you continues to grow.

Happy Fathers Day!

Always There For Your Daughter
