Fathers Day

Every Day Father’s Day

My father bought us (all girls) trucks and he would get in the floor and play with us. They were 18 wheelers and a log carrying trucks. He also bought me a bicycle and us a swing set. I can remember that only I played on the swing set. I also had roller skates since I was one year old. Another toy he bought was a gyroscope. We thread a cord around the wheel to create a rapid spin.

Some time later my mom and dad divorced and when we left we had to leave the toys because we couldn’t take the beautiful toy box dad built to hold our toys.

Today as I sat a candle I lit on my table my eyes fell upon a toy I cherished since I was a child that has been sitting on my table for years. That toy is a gyroscope. It is there to honor my dad. I decided I will wind the string and let it whirl everywhere it wants in honor of my father.

This year Father’s Day is June 20,2021 but I’m not going to wait several weeks-I’m going to start now.

Daddy although you’re not here with me physically, you’re in my heart covered in the love I have for you.

For those who want to wait until June 20, 2021 meditate on your special memories with your fathers and bless the time you have/had with him. If forgiveness is needed, forgive so you can move forward in your life.

The Love Expression of My Father’s Day Remembrance

I only have a short time left on my temps. Momma said she wasn’t going to pay for any more. I’m never gonna get to drive. I whined to my Dad every day he picked me up and drove me to school. My Mother paid for my temps twice and threatened not to pay for another one when it expired.

My Dad didn’t respond to my whining. He was smart. He knew what I was doing. Daddy was acting out what my Momma told me time and again, if you don’t hear nothing, you ain’t suppose to say nothing. He was saying nothing.

Then one day… I came out of the house to get in the car one morning and I found Daddy sitting in the passenger seat. He told me to get in the driver’s seat because I would be driving to school. That was the beginning of my driver’s training. I went to a school that was far from where I lived so I got plenty of practice. I sometimes picked up my brave best friend on the way to school. He saw me through to the day I passed the test to get my regular license—I had to take the parking test twice.

My Dad drove me to school every day that year. He made me feel really loved because he never did that for my siblings.

He’s in heaven now. Many times through the year—not just Father’s Day I reflect on my love for my Dad and his love for me. Those thoughts and the love I feel for him puts a smile on my face.

The love of my heavenly Father also puts a smile on my face every day of my life. He makes sure I have provision and there is no lack in my household. He is my peace beyond all understanding when things in my life seem to go awry. I talk to Him and trust He will lead me into all truths. Unlike a natural Father He never leaves me nor forsakes me. Father God has a plan for me as He stated in His Word (Jeremiah 29:11).

I was given to my earthly Father by my heavenly Father who loved me the best he could while one earth. Father God loved me before I showed up on the scene and has loved me ever since and vowed never to stop—no matter what. I honor and thank both of them for showing me true, overwhelming and everlasting love.

What love expression from your father do you cherish?

Happy Father’s Day

Today is Father’s Day and  we are honoring the men who have taken on the Father’s role of  in someone’s life.

Being a father is more than wearing the title. A father’s role is just as important as the mother’s role.  Hugs and kisses can come from the Father too. A child needs what both parents have to impart in their lives.  Wisdom and direction from father is missing when the father has no active part in the child’s life. That leaves the child lop-sided and it shows as they grow in their life.

My hat goes off to the fathers. It is not an easy job and I honor the one’s that stuck in there and didn’t bail.

Keep up the good work. Payday will be when you look at your children and they are good productive citizens that add to and not subtract from society.

Blessings to you all.
