Fathers day !

On Father's Day, we celebrate the those amazing fathers who love and bless their families. I am married to an amazing father - and I celebrate him today. And, like many of you, I have also come to know the extraordinary blessing of adoption.

Just like many hearts break on Mother's Day, there are many with an ache too deep for words over the loss of their own dad like me today. For every woman reading this right now whose heart is breaking as she thinks of her father or the father of her children - know this: you have a Heavenly Father who loves you. 

One of my favorite passages in the Bible is found in Psalm 68:5-6: "A Father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling. God sets the lonely in families, he leads forth the prisoners with singing.”  As Christians, we have been adopted into God's family - giving us a new hope and a future with Him.
God is in the business of restoration and hope.  Jesus showed us that the Almighty God is our Abba Father! (Our dear Papa!) (Mark 14:36). The Holy Spirit lives in the heart of all of us who follow Jesus and he intercedes for us from deep within, crying out, “Abba Father” (Romans 8:15; Galatians 6:4).
 “How great is the love the Father has lavished on us that we should be called children of God!” (1 John 3:1)

You are loved, busy mom. Loved by your Father.
