As Father's Day approaches, I think of the many ways fathers bless us and work hard for us. Our Heavenly Father also blesses us tremendously--we should remember him on this day as well. The hymn for this week, "Dearest Children, God is Near You" reminds us that our Father in Heaven "watches over us day and night" and "delights to own and bless us." He truly does love to bless us, and we can show our gratitude by striving to do what's right.
