Happy Father's Day God

Father’s Day, one day each where we are supposed to stop or at least slow down to honor our dads or a dad figure in our lives. Oh yes, the traditional gifts of ties, mugs and other little gestures to show our appreciation for dad’s place in our homes will all be given. These are all fine and, as a dad, I’ve always loved these things from my children.

When we think of God, our heavenly Father, how are we supposed to honor Him? We have never met Him face to face although we see His presence if we look closely. Unlike our earth fathers, we don’t really know what His voice sounds like although He does speak to us every day. We honor a daddy God, whom we’ve never met, by believing in His Son, Jesus. We allow Him into our hearts each day through trails and triumphs. We read His book with friends so the words and the Word become a part of our daily existence. We laugh, cry and pray with Him always and are never alone, even in a crowd when we speak His name. We honor Him by loving our earth fathers and by being loving fathers ourselves. Let today be the day that we all slow down and allow that breath you catch to be the one that says, Father God, Happy Father’s Day from me, a child of the King.
