THEN GOD MADE DADS
When the Lord was creating fathers he started with a tall frame. And an angel standing nearby said, “What kind of father is that? If You’re going to make children so close to the ground, why have you put fathers up so high? He won’t be able to shoot marbles without

There was a clever young guy named Somebody Else
There was nothing this can’t do
He is busy from morning till late at night
Substituting for you
You’re asked to do this or do that

He’ll do it much better than I
SO much to do in this

This has become my whole life’s creed.
I want to fit into His plan
Be of help to my fellow-man.
Plan the things that I should do
Before my work on earth is through.
It may be out in
