Missing Dad on Father’s Day
June 16, 2017
Millions of children are missing their dad with Father’s day ahead. Death and divorce change the family tree to a shape usually lopsided with a gapping space where dad once was.
We know that only our heavenly Father can fill that void. However, wishing for someone ‘with skin on’ is human. I’ll be praying for my children as they remember their dad. They face changes in jobs, home sales, children in motion and more. Yes, they relied on their dad’s sound council. And his unconditional love.
We can all be real and acknowledge their loss. No one on earth can fill that void and its OK to say so.
Yes, I’ll pray that God himself can reach into their hearts with comfort that He alone knows is completely what they need today.
