Father’s Day – it doesn’t seemingly carry the weight of Mother’s Day but it is a special day nonetheless.  My thoughts this morning have been especially on those who are going through their first Father’s day without their earthly father.  I am praying for those folks along with all whose fathers have passed from this life. 

I look like my dad and sometimes I act like my dad – aarrgh!  Sometimes I don’t act enough like my dad – aarrgh!  I am thankful for a dad who loves the Lord and lives loud regarding his faith.  My world has been shaken a bit this year as we learned that dad has cancer but we are grateful that it is a non-aggressive type and that he has responded well to the chemo treatments. 

However, it does remind me of the brevity of life and that none of us have a promise of tomorrow.  Life is way too short to hold grudges, not to speak to someone you love, et cetera.  Take the time today to tell those you love just exactly how much you do love them.  We are one phone call away from having our world turned upside down! 

Deidra grilled for me & Charles yesterday for which I am thankful.  I thank God for the privilege of being “dad” to five girls. 

I want to look like my Father!  I want to act like He wants me to act and to please Him.  May that be true of everyone who has been born again through the precious blood of Jesus. 

Happy Father’s Day!
