For Father, A Handmade Card With Vintage Ship Print
$8.00
Your Father stands at the helm of your Family’s ship. He watches, hand to furrowed brow, seeking smooth seas, guiding, steering, protecting you from the wind. The safe harbor you enjoy is because he is so good at being a captain.
This vintage ship print is the perfect symbol for Father’s Day. You know your family doesn’t always have smooth sailing. Sometimes the seas are downright turbulent. Yet your father is always there, striving to save the ship. He’s at the wheel, and he won’t bail until each one of his own is safe in harbor.
5″ x 7″ Vintage Ship print on white card. Front message strip is embellished with a metal anchor. Card has a designed back, and an inside message printed on vellum. Envelope included.
Description
My Minister, A Father
We look to the Pastors of the Church as we do to a father. They lead the Ship Zion with the same diligence and care of a Captain of the largest of ocean going vessels. They warn us of pitfalls and dangers, keeping close watch in the storms, ready to send a lifeboat if they see someone struggling in the waves.
One older Pastor I’m thinking about, and who inspired this card because of the father figure he is to us all, knows huge portions of scripture by heart. He puts his Bible on the pulpit, but I doubt he really needs to. Mostly, he recites the scriptures he wants to share, and even if he reads some, he spills over with more scripture throughout his sermon. And in amongst the scripture are other quotes, and whole poems. Poems like this one, that inspire us to higher roads (or seas).
‘Tis The Set of The Sail
But to every mind there openeth,
A way, and way, and away,
A high soul climbs the highway,
And the low soul gropes the low,
And in between on the misty flats,
The rest drift to and fro.
But to every man there openeth,
A high way and a low,
And every mind decideth,
The way his soul shall go.
One ship sails east, and another west,
By the self-same winds that blow.
‘Tis the set of the sails, and not the gales,
That tells the way we go.
Like the winds of the sea are the waves of time
As we journey along through life.
‘Tis the set of the soul that determines the goal,
And not the calm or the strife.
