Psalm 68:4-5
Sing to God, sing praises to His name;
Extol Him who rides on the clouds,
By His name YAH,
And rejoice before Him.
A Father of the fatherless, a Defender of widows,
Is God in His holy habitation.
I recently had a friend tell me that she felt like an orphan once her last parent died. And I can remember years ago thinking that once my parents died, I would no longer have anyone on the earth who would love me unconditionally. However, now that I am walking through this in reality, I don’t feel like an orphan. I am still O and M’s daughter, though they have gone home ahead of me.
How could I even be fatherless today as we celebrate “Father’s Day” here? I am a daughter of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords! I do have a Father who is still with me.
I honor my earthly daddy who is spending his first Father’s Day away from his children, but oh what glorious presents he is reaping now! He was a good daddy to me. He was stable, constant, and loving. I do miss him, but I would never want him back to live like he was.
Finally, Father’s Day around here will be all about my husband. He is a good daddy to our little girl! I am grateful that she will be able to say good things about her daddy too. And she knows beyond a shadow of a doubt that he adores her and is proud of her.
Happy Father’s Day!
Have a sweet day everyone!

It’s amazing comfort to know that your sweet Daddy is celebrating this Father’s Day with His Heavenly Father, free from pain. And yes, your little one has a very good Daddy. Tell him I said “Happy Father’s Day” – Love you
God bless you today and make His face to shine upon you and your family!
Have been thinking of you my friend. Praying that your Heavenly Father has come and filled your heart today. Celebrating your daddy in heaven with you (and your mama too). What a blessing to know that your little princess is reaping the benefit of the unconditional love of both her Father in heaven and her earthly father!
