The Father’s Love
 
A Father’s Day card reads, “Anyone can be a father but it takes someone special to be a Daddy.” In this statement, the difference between being a father and being a daddy is one word, “special.” Webster’s Dictionary defines special as “great, dear, distinguished or different from what is ordinary or usual.” How do you define your relationship with your Heavenly Father? Is He a Father to you or is He a Daddy? The answer lies in your revelation of His love. If you have mere knowledge that He loves you then your Heavenly Father is a Father to you. But if you have experienced a revelation of His love then He is a Daddy to you. 

This Father’s Day as you celebrate the “Fathers” in your life, also seek to receive God’s love into your hearts. Write this Bible verse on your heart and turn it into a daily prayer.

May He grant you out of the rich treasury of His glory to be strengthened and reinforced with mighty power in the inner man by the Spirit. May Christ through your faith dwell in your hearts! May you be rooted deep in love and founded securely on love, that you may have the power and be strong to apprehend and grasp with all the saints [God’s devoted people, the experience of that love] what is the breadth and length and height and depth; that you may really come to know the love of Christ, which far surpasses mere knowledge [without experience]; that you may be filled unto all the fullness of God! 
Ephesians 3:16-19 AMP

Speaking of God's amazing love, 34 BaysideWomens' lives were touched and lasting friendships were cultivated at last month's Women's Encounter Retreat!  It was a time of reflecting, rededicating and rejoicing in their relationship with God, as well as, quality time with other women from Bayside. If you have not had an opportunity to attend this awesome encounter experience, mark your calendar for our next BaysideWomens'  Encounter Retreat on September 14-16, 2007.  
 
Many of you have asked about having another Summer Sunset Social like we did last year in July. So, the waiting is almost over, get your lawn chairs ready and set aside the evening of July 29, 2007 for our next Summer Social. Look for more details to come at the BaysideWomens' table in the foyer at church or in next month's newsletter. Get ready to R-E-L-A-X!
 
“Love one another from the heart.” 1 Peter 1:22
