😎🐫🎤 Christ’s peace and presence be with you. Last Sunday was Father’s Day. For all you dads, I hope you were able to share some good times and memorable moments with your children. For Father’s Day, my dad chose to volunteer to help us paint our, as Brian called it, “halfway house”. He called it that, because it’s halfway done. Actually, Dad spent time with us Saturday – Monday working on painting. He took Tuesday off to golf, but is coming back on Wednesday to help us get started on the tongue and groove walls and ceilings. This past year, both Mom and Dad have been very supportive with our house project. Dad has spent many hours helping with different aspects of the build process. Mom always makes sure we have our afternoon apple snack or something sweet like coffee cake or brownies. But most importantly are the constant prayers they offer up for us, those working on our project, and that God’s will be done. From the beginning of this process, they said we will have the house that God wants us to have. The house plans have evolved quite a bit since those first prayers were prayed and it’s been interesting to see God move during this project.

Listening to the radio Monday, I heard the DJ say that the most forgotten holiday is Father’s Day. I didn’t check the statistics on that claim, but what did happen is it caused this thought to come to my mind…”I didn’t tell God Happy Father’s Day yesterday.” I don’t recall ever wishing God Happy Father’s Day, so it seemed a little strange that that thought would even come to my mind. I’m curious, have you ever wished God Happy Father’s Day?

I would also like to recognize and thank all those good guys, like my husband Brian, that choose to step up and be good dads and father figures for their non-biological children.  You are making a difference.  Children need both, a solid mother and father figure in their lives.

Bless others and be blessed.
