Here’s your daily dose of what matters most!
Tomorrow is Father’s Day! Let us honor the fathers and father figures whose love, patience, and guidance reflect the divine care of our Heavenly Father. In every quiet sacrifice and steady example, they help us understand what it means to be truly known and loved by God.
Scripture
“Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?”—Matthew 7:9-11
Quote
“On this Father’s Day, I express gratitude for fathers everywhere who set righteous examples. A father’s love, persistence, and dedication leave a lasting impression on all of us. May we continue to look to our Heavenly Father as the prime example for all we do.”—Ronald A. Rasband
