For all things
you've lead me through and taught me
And for promising me that you will never leave me
Through and through you've shown me the ropes
Helping me in anything and everything I face
Everyday you're there for me by simply calling your
name
Rarely do I get to
thank you enough. So on this special day, I do exactly that.
What a great
day Father’s Day is. It is a day when we
remember all that our Father has done for us to help shape and make us the
person we are today. What is a
Father? He is someone who has been there from the very beginning. He teaches us how
to take our first steps and catches us when we fall. He is the guy that isn’t ashamed to go into a
store and buy a doll for his special little girl even though he knows he may be
the brunt of jokes in the office. It will all be worth it when he sees the
smile on his little girl’s face that lights up his whole world. He is the one
who eyes shine with pride at our accomplishments and the one who wipes away our
tears when we fail. He lets us know that
it is okay to make a mistake, because that is how we learn and grow. A Father is someone who is with us in good
times and bad. He cares for us and works hard to meet all of our needs. He seems larger than life
to us when we are young. We believe that
he can do anything as he swoops us up in his arms so high that we almost touch
the ceiling. A Father is someone who
always makes you feel very special and happy that you belong to him.
My Father
died when I was nineteen and so I relied on the Lord to be my Father. Looking back on my life now, I can see that He has always been
there for me through everything and has never let me down. He is everything my
earthly father was but much more. He will never
leave me. He tells me every single day that He
loves me and He guides me gently as He installs His wisdom in me. He picks me up when I stumble along this road
of life and forgives me when I do things that aren’t pleasing to Him. When cancer plagued my body, He healed me,
with just a touch so that I would have no doubt that He loved me and would
always be there for me. I love You my
Father. For Your love, Your forgiveness,
Your patience, Your gentleness, Your strength when I am weak, and your healing touch. But most of all Father I thank You for
sending Jesus to die on the cross for every one of us. I feel so very blessed and thankful to You
for being my Father. For never forgetting
the details that end up making everything wonderful and perfect. That is why I love calling You Abba Father.
