Happy Father's Day! LEAD ME

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

I know so many amazing Fathers. I have an amazing Father myself and my redheads have an amazing Father!
Being a good Dad takes fortitude, courage, strength, and presence.
Today's song is from the group Sanctus Real and it was birthed out of the lead singer's own personal experience with being a husband and father. When he took a long hard look he found himself lacking and he knew that he needed to change and quickly. And he knew that the ONLY way he was going to change and be better was through Jesus. Through counseling and re-evaluating he emerged with a fresh awareness of Who he needed to lead him so he could lead his family. That's the key to being an amazing Father, allowing yourself to be led by the One who was our Father first.

Butter someone up

There are two probable origins for this idiom and I think both are equally plausible. The first one is that when you spread butter on bread you are buttering it up like one would do when trying to flatter someone. The second is in ancient India there was a practice of throwing balls of butter at statues to ask for favor, i.e. buttering them up. ( source ) When we use the phrase today we generally mean that extreme flattery is used to gain information or favor. It's not always necessarily a compliment.

More bang for your buck

This phrase was used a lot in 1953 but an earlier citation puts it at 1940 in a Metals and Plastics Publications advertisement. Read about it here . The phrase means you get more for your money.

Call it a Day

The literal use of this phrase hails from 1838 when the phrase originally was "call it half a day" to mean leaving work early. (source) The modern use of the phrase is to indicate ending something due to false sense of accomplishment.
