Happy Fathers Day to the greatest Father one can know, our Heavenly Father. We had a great time as the church in Hurdle Mills, Clement Baptist Church, gathered and testified to His goodness, grace, mercy, and loving-kindness. Multiple brothers and sisters testified to what they had learned about the "Fatherliness" of our Heavenly Father this year. How about you? What have you learned? A few of my observations:
1) He, in His fatherliness, sustains His children. Kimberly and I have faced multiple changes this year from building a new home, adopting two children (one with FASD), discovering Caleb has a minor case of Cerebral Palsy, and He took "Mama B" home to see the beautiful face of her Savior. In the midst of all the changes and heartaches, He has faithfully sustained us.
2) He, in His fatherliness, places others in our lives to encourage, instruct, support, and comfort in life changes. He has given Kimberly and I three Dads who are always available, encouraging, and supportive - Thanks HL, Ted, and Dave! You are wonderful to us, and though we were not able to spend time with either of you today - know that you are loved and appreciated.
3) He, in His fatherliness, has given to us a loving and supportive church family. Praise Him for placing us in a community of faith that seeks to glorify Him!
My celebration of Fathers Day included - teaching Sunday School and Corporate worship, eating a quick lunch, taking a hearty nap, replacing a leaking outdoor faucet, installing an underground drain pipe for the AC unit, washing dishes, and drying clothes. O how good the Father is to us! Marvelous are His ways! Thank you Father for your goodness and mercy!
No more leaking faucet!
Hopefully the water will now run underground
