Looking for the Knight in Shining Armor!
Who's the Perfect Father?
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 flyin' AGAIN atop the WWW announcing FATHER'S DAY--and decided it's about time to start searching 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 the broom from her closet--Peggie's Place has once again become a castle; and Peggie has begun her search. Won't you join her?

Who's the Perfect Father?
The Quiz!!
Possible points: 70
Necessary points to qualify for Perfect Father: 70
F aithful? |
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!
THE QUEST!
Where IS he?
Let's look around the WEB, check out the Father's Day links,
From Pastor Greg's Pen: "Brothers and Sisters, Meet My Dad" . . . "A Tribute to a Lifelong Coach (Lessons My Dad Taught Me)"
"A Man's Guide to Father's Day" (A Look in the Mirror)
Dave Meuer--Christian humorist and author
Top Ten Things Your Father Really Wants for Father's Day
One more corner of the Web to look......
Still haven't found the perfect dad on this earth! The quest continues.
and see if he might be lurking there!
Marvelicious Happy Father's Day
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!

"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

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)."
We love our DADS...and gladly share our chocolate with you!
Happy Father's Day from THE CASTLE ON THE HILL, better known as PEGGIE'S PLACE!
