Father's Day


It's Father's Day and I am so thankful for the Father I have in heaven. No greater love was ever shown than the sacrifice given by God to send His son as an atonement for our sins. Just as God is our Father so Fathers should be a reflection of Him in raising their children.

Yesterday, I had a brief chat with Zack and Bonnie about parents. Bonnie wondered how does a person that grows up with parents that are not loving end up being more affectionate and loving toward their children. After thinking about this, I finally figured it out. We have our heavenly Father as our model. We put aside all of our baggage and focus on His attributes.

So with that in mind I will celebrate the love we had for each other and the love the Lord has showered on me.

This picture is on our wedding day when my Dad gave the greatest gift, his presence at my wedding because 9 days later he passed away.

One day we will meet again and have a celebration like no other!

This is the day the Lord has made and I will rejoice in it!
