Happy Fathers Day

Greetings Everybody,
Today is a wonderful day already.  
Today is both Sunday and it's Father's Day...a double tribute
-First there's my Heavenly Father
-Second there's my Earthly Father.


I am so very blessed to have had an Earthly Father who loved me and provided for me.
He took me fishing & he taught me to throw a football & he bought me ice cream cones.


He taught me how to fly kites.
We would spend glorious hours lying on a blanket, looking at the sky, each of us holding on to the string of a kite that was floating high in the sky.


We would fly our kites and  watch clouds sail past.  


Perhaps THIS is where I first learned to love clouds. 
Perhaps THIS is where I first learned to look to the sky and think beyond things that kept me anchored to the ground.
Perhaps THIS was where my child-mind first understood the term FATHER and how that term could be applied to GOD.


I learned that my Heavenly Father loved me as I experienced how my Earthly Father loved me.


I learned so many things from my daddy.


I learned servant leadership.
I learned "the buck stops here"...and about his role as the final authority in our home.
I learned rules and I learned laughter and I learned faith.


I learned humility.
I learned integrity.
I learned honesty.


I'm pretty sure that My Heavenly Father approved of those lessons, since they are all based on the way that Christians are supposed to live.


I love my daddy and He loves Me.


Heavenly Father, thank you for my Daddy.
And thank you for loving me even MORE than he does.


Happy Fathers Day to you too God!
You are the Ultimate Father!


In Him,
Grace
