Father's Day

Father's day has been a very difficult day for me since my earthly father went home to be with my Heavenly Father 11 years ago. He was only 54 years old and I still feel that it was way to young. I did not have enough years with him. However, I also struggle with Father's day for other reasons. My daughter who is now 23 years old has never spent Fathers day with her father. She actually has only spent one week of her life with him, (When she was 13). He has never been a father to her. hasen't even spoken to her except during that week. My son has struggled with his relationship with his father all of his life. His father walke dout on us when he was 2 years old. Today he is with him, at least in the same home with him. I do not know what their relationship is like as at 17 he does not communicate his feelings to me well. (of course he never has...) I know so many who have not had good relationships with their fathers and so many who never knew of spent time with their fathers. I do not understand why that is. I do not get how a man can walk away from his children like they do not matter. I do not understand how they can even try to forget them. I know that there are plenty who probably regret their actions. Then they need to humble themselves and ask forgiveness and try to forge a relationship with their children. I do not know if they ever will. Others are with their children in the physical sense however never even talk to them They also need to stop and see what they are truly communicating to their children by their actions. What are they teaching their children by their absence?

Fathers of this world please wake up... see what you are doing...

My heavenly Father has been a faithful and ever present part of my life. To show me His faithfulness He has placed men in my life who I know to be good fathers. Men like my boss that always puts His children first. Goes to their games, plans parties and special events for them. Others whom I have watched cry for their daughters when they are hurt of hurting, and teach their sons to become men of honor. So I know that there are good fathers out there. I just pray that those of you who do have your father in your life that you made a special time to talk to and honor your father today. for those who do not Praise your heavenly father today for all the ways He has been faithful to you. and for all those who have been raised by a mom along join my daughter in honoring your mom who has been both mom and dad to you... What a wonderful gift that was to me today from my daughter to get a text message telling me Thanks!

For all you fathers out there who are trying your hardest to be the best dad you can. Thanks!!! and keep it up!!!


Blessing everyone,
