What a wonderful day to celebrate. Sometimes I think father's get jipped when it comes to holidays. Such as Valentines, it always somehow becomes the women's day. I never understoond that. I find it joyful to celebrate my love for my husband, not just his love for me.
We should give special thought tomorrow on the father's in our lives be it your father, grandfather and your husband. Celebrate their love and support.
I just thought of this too. We have another Father that we need to celebrate His love for us. So why not just send a little prayer of thanks out to God tomorrow and let Him know how much He means to us.

Excellent point...sometimes we tend to forget the most important Father!
Did you call your own father? With all this talk about what is right and holy, does that mean that you are close to yours? I would assume that you are since you are so religious and know that you are supposed to "honor thy father". You always talk about your mother and your husband's family. What about your dad?
Even though I do not have to explain myself - I want you to know that I have tried several times - by email and cards/letters to resolve the situation between Glenda as well as Dad (including the last time - Mother's & Father's day where I apologized to both of them for any hurt feelings) and I have gotten no response, not even an acknowledgement that they got my card.
I cannot make someone want to be a part of my life that doesn't want to be. I have tried and it doesn't work.
I have done my part to make ammends, as I have several times before. It is now up to them to decide to forgive and move on with our relationship or let it fade away.
I love them both very much, whether they or anyone else thinks so. God knows and I know. I can honestly say that between God and I, I have a clear conscious as to my part in this relationship - I have tried and that is all that I can do.
Wow, that was an interesting comment from the 'anonymous' person. I think there is only so much you can do as a person and that is where you have let God step in. People have to allow Him to soften their heart and all we can do is pray about that. He is the only Father that is perfect. I also want to say that April is not just 'talk' when it comes to her relationship with The Lord. It is obvious in many many ways. Thank you for your thoughts on Father's Day and for your friendship.
April, you are a real strength for me. I truly admire your encouragement for others and your spirit. Thanks April.
A father is someone who nurtures you, prays for you, would die for you, would go to the end for you, loves you know matter what, looks over any shortcomings or mistakes and praises even the smallest accomplishments, forgives and forgets forever any wrongs and counts you as a priceless treasure. That's a father, right?? Mom
