Father’s Day…
What a day to celebrate.
What a day to contemplate.
Is a father one who rules with an iron fist?
Is a father one who grants every wish list?
Father’s Day fills the heart with love, fear, hatred, and confusion.
Father’s Day fills the heart with suspicion, wisdom, laughter, and illusion.
What a day to let the soul ponder.
What a day to let the mind wander.
Is a father one who encourages, advises and cheers?
Is a father one who avoids, neglects and jeers?
Father’s Day can fill the heart with strength and admiration.
Father’s Day can fill the heart with joy and appreciation.
What a day to let accumulate.
What a day to let captivate.
A true Father is one who admires, enwraps, uplifts and esteems.
A true Father is one who confronts, forgives, purifies and redeems.
Thankful for My Heavenly Father on this Father’s Day that is tough on my heart and so many others…

A father of the fatherless, a defender of widows, in God in His holy habitation.
Psalm 68:5

Poignant thoughts, MG. I was so blessed to have a good, loving, wise, and responsible father, who made it easy to envision my heavenly Father as the same, only moreso. For those with abusive, negligent, or non-existent father’s, not so much. Praying these children can find their true Father anyway.
