I remember when my dad and I celebrated my birthday and Father’s Day years ago like it was yesterday. Also the most memorable Christmas when we danced the polka together in the living room what a joy it was. I thank God for my father I was blessed with and I cherish all the memories of him deep in my heart. It has been 33 years since he passed away and time does not heal a grieving heart. I find I miss him more every day but I’ve also found to be true only by God’s grace I can stand and make it through each day without him. I remember years ago I always feared the day my dad would pass on and how would I cope? But I thank God for the hope He has placed in my heart that one day I will see him again in heaven and what a day of rejoicing that will be and we will dance again.
There may be some of you who have been raised without a father or had bitter experiences you want to forget but I want to remind you there is our heavenly Father who loves you unconditionally and He deserves to be honored today.
~+ He is worthy to be acknowledged and praised for He is a good Father. I know my heavenly Father lives because He has kept His promises to me over the past 21 years. Great is His faithfulness for He has been faithful to me every day and His tender mercies flow for me even when I don’t deserve it. His Love abounds more and more and He has proved His love for me over and over again. His greatest sacrifice of love is when He gave His Son Jesus to die to save me and you and I am forever grateful. He has supplied my every need. He has given me my heart’s desires even without asking. His blessings are too many to be counted. I love the little things He does for me that many may think He is too big or too busy to care. He has protected me and made a way for me so many times when I needed Him the most. His grace covers and carries me every moment of every day. He has never once forsaken me or let me down so today I give Him all honor and praise for being such a great Father to me. There are not enough words to describe His compassion for me and for the world but if you look around you will see the magnificence of His great love & faithfulness for us all. Let Him lavish His love upon you today. Happy Father’s day to all you dads! and single mom’s who are both mom and dad, Love you all be blessed, Jan (Lollita Faith)
