Chapter Seven; Father's Day
Alright guys, this story didn't end up being as long as I thought it was going to be so there was no real need to divide it up. I hope you enjoyed it anyway though! I myself thought it was very cute. Here's the last chapter!
That Sunday everyone got up and ready to go to church. "Alright here's how the schedule is going to go," Snape began as they started walking down the driveway together. "Ron and Hermione since Harry got his car fixed the two of you will ride with him. Then after church Harry will ride with me in my new Mustang and we'll go out to lunch. Then afterwards we'll meet all of you at Mermaid's Lagoon Waterpark. How does that sound?" he asked them.
"Sounds great if we add a slice of that dream cake somewhere in the mix." Ron told him with a grin.
"Honestly Weasley, don't you ever think of anything besides your stomach?" he wondered.
"Besides God you Hermione and the rest of my friends and family, no not really. And I'm telling you guys, the Bible better know what its talking about when it says that there's going to be a feast up in Heaven, otherwise I'm staying a ghost." Ron told them as Harry unlocked his car.
"But ghosts can't eat either. The food would just go right through them." He pointed out.
"Please Harry, leave my digestive system out of this." Ron told him.
"But_" Harry began but Hermione quickly put up her hands and shook her head.
"Don't waste your breath Harry. It's no use arguing with his logic. I mean God knows that I love him, but sometimes I wish that He would have left a manual when it comes to dealing with him as Harry chuckled.
"You and me both." He told her before he ducked his head climbed into the driver's seat while everyone else climbed inside.
…
Would you do service for Jesus your King?
There's power in the blood, power in the blood!
Would you live daily His praises to sing?
There's wonderful power in the blood.
There is power, power wonder- working power in the blood,.. of the Lamb!
This is power, power wonder-working power in the precious blood of the Lamb!
"Thank you you may be seated." The pastor began as everyone sat down in their pews. "Now before we do our usual Morning Prayer and I dismiss the children for Sunday school, Harry has a very special Father's Day message for us." He announced as Harry went up to the room and turned to face them.
"Good morning and Happy Father's Day to you. You know the thing is about Father's Day that is a time where we show our father's how much we love and care about them. However I personally think that we should do that every day, and not just to our earthly father but our Heavenly Father as well. I mean He is the reason that we have our dad's in the first place. A lot of times we seem to forget that though. However one person who never ever forgets that is my dad.
Not only does he thank the Lord every night for me and my brothers and sisters, but he also thanks them for two people that aren't his biological or adopted children but he loves them anyway. Now I personally think that that is an excellent mark of a good Christian. Jesus even said that we should love our neighbors as much as we love our self. And let me tell you, he does. He considers them his greatest friends and holds them close to his heart through all the ups and downs.
I know for a fact that he would lay down his life for them or for anyone else that he considers part of his family. Jesus said that we should forgive a man seventy times seven. But my dad is such a great man that he would even forgive you more than that. I personally think that's as close to Jesus as you can possibly get. Because once you ask Him to enter your heart, He's always going to be there for you through both the happy times and the sad times. Because no matter what you are part of His family and He still loves you unconditionally no matter how many times you sin.
And it is due to His sacrifice at the cross that we may one day spend all of eternity with Him. Let us pray." Harry said as everyone bowed their heads and closed their eyes. "Heavenly Father we come before you this morning Lord just to thank you for this wonderful day in which you have made. We ask that you forgive us for all of our sins and if there is someone here this morning who does not know you we simply ask that you enter their hearts. For help us to remember that all things are possible through you and you alone.
For you are Father and we are your children. Lead us not into temptation, deliver us from evil and help us always to forgive one another and love each other. Help us always to do the right thing according to your word, so that we may one day enter the Kingdom of Heaven. And last but certainly not least thank you for sending your Son to die for us so that we may have that chance. This we ask in your name, Amen."
