Pre Father's Day

Along with the sadness comes a lot of gratitude this Father's Day as I thank God for giving my sisters and I such an amazing Dad.  I've often heard it said that we sometimes view God the way we view our earthly Father. If our father wasn't always supportive, wasn't there, we may find it difficult to understand what our heavenly Father truly is like.

A few years ago, I remember Dad sharing in a parenting class he often did not know what to do as a father. He didn't have much experience with kids prior to us.  As with anything he shared that all he knew to do was to pray and so he literally prayed about everything. In his prayer list that we found recently, he even was praying about one of his daughter's wart!  I won't disclose which of us had the wart, but woweee.  God has humbled me to realize that my dad loved us so much and cared for even small matters.  And he believed that God would care about those small matters too.  Completely grateful that I had a father's support, prayers and love throughout the growing seasons of my life.
