According to website I have listed below, Father's Day was created by Mrs. John B. Dodd of Washington. Apparently, she simply wanted a day to honor her father.

It seems her dad was widowed when his wife, passed away during chilbirth and left him with 6 children to raise. When she became an adult, Mrs. Dodd realized strength and caring of her father during those years. It was her way of showing her appreciation to him.

Father's Day was first celebrated in Spokane, Washington on June 19, 1910. President Calvin Coolidge recognized a national Father's Day in 1924 but it wasn't until 1966 that President Lyndon Johnson proclaimed 3rd Sunday of June as Father's Day.

Do you remember making a special gift for you Dad for Father's Day? I remember tracing a hunting knife around a piece of cardboard, then cutting it out and coloring it just for him!

Some mornings I am there so early that sun hasn't risen yet. I enjoy watching stars twinkle in pre-dawn. Slowly sun begins to rise, and light begins to push back darkness. The process is fascinating.

Some mornings I am treated to a spectacular sunrise scene. The colors bouncing off nearby clouds give me a pleasing light show. I watch colors change from pink to purple to orange to yellow.

Other mornings it's stormy outside, and all I see are storm clouds angrily racing across sky. There's magnificence in power of storm as it marches through affecting everything around.

And then there are mornings where nothing particularly spectacular is going on. The sky is clear, and as sun rises, it quietly bursts forth onto scene lighting earth.
